Curriculum

Elizabeth Street Extended Hours Preschool

At Elizabeth Street Preschool, we believe that early childhood education is the foundation for lifelong learning and growth. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to align with our core mission and values, creating a rich, engaging environment where children can thrive.

Our Mission Statement

We believe that Preschool should be an enjoyable, nurturing, and fun place for children to be. We see children as being active participants in their own learning. We recognise that this will best happen in an environment which provides fun, enjoyable and engaging learning experiences.

Children will be supported and encouraged to be creative and to think creatively. Children will be given time to explore their environment and revisit experiences of interest. Children will be encouraged and supported to test out and investigate ideas.

We will continuously encourage children’s curiosity, queries, and wonderment in a stimulating environment. Our aim is for every child to experience a genuine sense of belonging, to provide them with the time and space to be themselves and to support and guide them in who they will become.
