Daylesford Preschool

Daylesford Preschool We at Daylesford Pre School, believe that all children belong and need to feel safe and nurtured. Create a safe place for the children to flourish and grow.

We at Daylesford Pre School:
Believe that all children belong and need to feel safe, secure and nurtured while at kindergarten. We focus on building strong, confident, positive and resilient personalities in our children with the focus on listening to the children’s voice and their families. We value the input of families, children and all staff members when creating an open ended play based progr

am, nurturing the social and emotional intelligences of the children. We provide a beautiful environment, both indoors and outdoors with purposeful, natural and engaging materials for the children to investigate and explore. We value nature play, with a large outdoor environment, with many natural resources, a small river bed, rain water tanks, rocks, logs, sticks, sand and climbing materials. We provide links to the environment and sustainability through all aspects of the kindergarten, composting, harvesting rain water, re using materials and a flourishing veggie patch, planted and tended to by the children. We promote risk taking and resilience building by allowing the children to climb trees and play outside in rain, snow, and sunshine. Listen to the children and their voices are heard. We build strong connections with each individual child, ensuring that their individual needs and interests are met. We provide individual goals according to their own unique skills and capabilities. We respect each child, their culture and their lives, bringing these into the classroom with the help of their families. We create strong links with families and community, with many school visits throughout the year, with students from local schools planning engaging experiences for the kinder children regularly. Parents are invited to take part in the program with family picnics, parents helpers and the stay and play program. Acknowledge spirit of place. With a long history in the community, and gardens and hard wood floors that tell a thousand stories, Daylesford Pre School acknowledges those who were here before us. We acknowledge and honour the Dja Dja Wurrung people, the traditional custodians of the land with an importance on respecting culture and embedding it in our plans. Provide open ended and joyous opportunities for play and investigation. We provide a nurturing high quality learning environment with a focus on safety, kindness, positivity, identity building and happiness. We at Daylesford Pre School encourage wonder, curiosity and reflection in ourselves, children and families.
