Welcome to Huntfield Heights School Based Preschool

Philosophy

At Huntfield Heights School Based Preschool we aim to provide opportunities for children to grow and learn in a supportive, safe, caring and inclusive setting by offering preschool sessions for children aged 3 to 5 years.

We believe that children learn best through play and exploration of their everyday environment. It is through this play children learn a range of skills that they will develop and take with them for the rest of their lives.

We value the importance of children as individuals and them making decisions about their own learning and do so by offering a range of choices, experiences and materials for them to access throughout their day at preschool. Our planning is guided by the children’s interests and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).

We recognise the significance and importance of parents and/or primary caregivers in every child’s life and encourage their involvement within the preschool program.

Equality, inclusion, diversity and the importance of positive relationships underpin our beliefs for a strong, supportive community.

We value Nature Play and provide opportunities for children to explore, discover and be at one with our beautiful natural surroundings. Through this play we are committed to providing children with opportunities to develop skills, understandings and values to promote sustainability.
