About
Early experiences lay the foundations for future learning & we know that ensuring these experiences are positive leads to greater success in school and adult life. We strongly believe that children learn through play and hands-on experiences. At Belmont North Preschool we are guided by The Early Years Learning Framework to achieve the best possible learning and developmental outcomes for each child. We believe children are capable and resourceful learners. We carefully plan, curate and reflect on environments both indoors and out, that support and provide opportunities for children to discover, explore, investigate, express themselves, problem solve, be creative, resourceful and interact with one another.

Testimonial
'Are not all seeds unique? Some flowers are simple & small, others great & at times over powering but all are precious! I love how you have cared for my 2 oldest children. For this year as you have been sensitive , wise, patient & open-minded with A. He is developing roots of character - of trust. You have taught him he is valuable. I am grateful for the abundant work & effort with my child - but mostly as he has ventured into a wider world, with his uniqueness - you have taught him he is valuable. For this - & for everything else - thank you.'
