Preschool and Childrens Centre

The staff are enjoying getting to know each child and their family. It has been encouraging to see how quickly each child has settled into their Preschool environment, developing self-confidence, sharing common interests with their peers, learning new things about each other and forming friendships.

Interests in these early weeks have centered on children navigating both indoor and outdoor environments. Indoors, the children's interests include creative arts experiences such as painting and craft construction, as well as learning to manage and manipulate tools and materials to complete small projects.

There has also been a great interest in dramatic play and exploring various role-playing scenarios. In the home corner, the children have enjoyed dressing up as princesses, cooking, and inviting peers for 'food'. Block construction was equally busy for children to connect with peers. Many children experimented with construction by using various kinds of blocks and connectors to build and learn new skills in cooperative play by negotiating different ways to share spaces and equipment with peers.

Finally, outdoor play has been great for discovering sand, mud play, and swings. All these experiences have been a great way for the children to settle and find their sense of self and belonging in their new environment. 

 Preschool staff would like to take this opportunity to thank parents and caregivers for supporting the children with their morning routine.
