About the Centre/Service

At Heathmont East Preschool, we believe that children learn by ‘doing’. We have developed a ‘Play based’ program with many open ended activities that inspire children to explore, to wonder, to use their different senses, and to engage in learning. We work to provide flexibility within a routine that provides security and develops the child’s cognitive, social, physical and emotional skills and capabilities in a safe and stimulating environment. Heathmont East Preschool believes in nurturing a sense of belonging and inclusion for all children and families and assist children to develop confident self identities. We recognise the importance of families as the child’s first educator. Educators provide individual supports and tailor the learning environment to enable each child to reach their full potential. Each child is recognised as a valuable member of our learning environment in which we all learn, grow and share together. Heathmont East Preschool is operated by a volunteer Committee of Management team in partnership with highly skilled and dedicated staff. The kinder offers a single sessional three-year old group and three sessional four-year-old groups.
