Kings Road Long Day Preschool

We are a unique, welcoming, family-friendly and well-resourced Preschool with an extensive educational curriculum for children 3 – 5 years.

At Kings Road Long Day Preschool, we provide a warm, safe and supportive learning environment for children and families. We support relationships based on kindness, fairness and consideration of others.

We encourage children to be thoughtful of others and to treat others as they would like to be treated. We encourage values such as being kind, thoughtful, and inclusive; being helpful and showing respect to others; participation in all activities and to try their best; and the importance of being honest and keeping their word. We encourage children to be resilient and to develop skills to meet challenges.

Our open plan Preschool allows for a wide choice in friendships and activities. We encourage children in their developing independence, and interdependence with others. We believe children have the right to be valued and respected, and in turn have the responsibility of valuing others.

Limits set on children’s behaviour are based on being thoughtful and fair to others, and taking care of nature and the environment. We encourage the development of children’s ability to self-regulate their behaviour.

We value the role of families in sharing information about their child, enriching the Preschool’s program, and contributing to policy decisions. We believe it is important to nurture the unique and individual abilities and interests of each child, and acknowledge the values and beliefs held by families, educators and the community. We welcome all children including those with additional needs. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are valued, especially as expressed through art and music. Our Preschool has sustainable environmental practices embedded in its program. We have a culturally diverse team of educators who are multi-lingual.

In partnership with families, we believe in encouraging attitudes and a broad range of skills that support children with school, and for life.

Last but not least, we want the children to have lots of fun!
