Welcome to Elermore Vale Public School Preschool
Our school strives for quality teaching and learning by working together for children.
Preschools in government schools operated by the Department of Education provide educational programs to children one year before starting school and are an integral part of the school in which they are located. Departmental preschools aim to ensure that all children experience learning that is engaging and builds success for life.
Our preschool program aims to deliver quality care and education as set by the National Quality Standards and reflects the principles, practices and outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework, both of which guide us in providing a high quality program.
Learning through play is integral to our preschool program and children are encouraged to develop as individuals within our community of learners.
Social skills, independence and communication skills are viewed as being critical aspects of a child’s development and we hope that through supporting your child’s individual developmental needs, we will be able to assist in a happy and successful start to their school life.
We encourage parents/carers to contact us at anytime, meet with us and spend time at the preschool so that you feel supported and secure in the preschool environment.
Our preschool aims to:
- create a stimulating, attractive and supportive environment that will support the needs of each individual child.
- provide opportunities:
- for children to feel part of the group and develop social skills and relationships
- for children to use initiative, self-direction and collaboration
- for gross and fine motor development
- establish an environment that will promote exploration and discovery.
- provide experiences designed to encourage the development of knowledge and skills.
- develop within each child a positive attitude toward school and learning situations.
- provide experiences designed to support the transition from home to preschool and to school.
- involve parents in the preschool programs in a variety of ways.
