Pre-School
Building Imagination
When playing, children explore social relationships, experiment, explore, discover, and solve problems, while being encouraged to be creative and use their imagination.
Safe Spaces for Learning
Our learning environment invites curiosity and supports development as the children make choices, accept challenges, explore ideas, appreciate beauty, appreciate diversity and ask questions while feeling safe and supported.

Children Learn Through Play
Play & Development
Every child is a unique person with their own interests, learning style, growth timetable, and culture.
The educational program at Singleton Heights Pre-School is based upon the children's active involvement in a variety of planned and spontaneous activities and experiences.
The curriculum is child initiated and teacher guided allowing children to make their own choices while catering for individual and group interests, needs, development and strengths.
When given the time, space, and environment, a child will ask questions to gain knowledge, construct new ideas and link them to existing knowledge and make sense of their world.

The Pre-School is proud of our links with our local community, and we value our relationships with services, agencies, individuals and specialists.
