Bonbeach Pre-School
Our Preschool program aims to introduce each child to an enjoyable and challenging environment where each child can develop a love of learning. The program encompasses all areas of development, intellectual, social, emotional, physical and language enrichment. Each child is recognised as unique with individual developmental needs, interests and talents. Differences are catered for by incorporating a variety of learning experiences in the program; art, language, music, science, mathematics, movement, dramatic play, social development, and exploration of the natural world as well as a wide range of outdoor activities. Educational objectives are found to enhance each child’s developmental skills within a group setting. Acknowledging children’s interests (both group and individuals) makes learning meaningful.
Children are able to play and experiment with materials and activities provided. Play is their work, and through play they learn. Children are free to select where they will play with limits being set on their behaviour. Each child works at their own pace and level and are encouraged and appreciated.
The preschool fosters in each child a feeling of self worth, kindness, independence, respect for others, tolerance and self discipline. The preschool program introduces these concepts to the children by using the 'You Can Do It’ program focused on building self esteem.
We have a unique transition program that is run with the primary school. Children participate in visits to the prep classrooms and school playground. They have an older school buddy and participate in special whole school events.
Bonbeach Preschool aims to make the kinder experience a happy one for your child. By working together, parents and staff can make this aim possible.
