About the Centre/Service
Beleura Hill Preschool is a non-profit community based sessional kinder operated by a Committee of Management. The preschool is committed to excellence in the provision of educational programs for both 3- and 4-year-olds, recognized in our Exceeding National Quality Standard rating. Families and educators aim to build strong partnerships to effectively manage the preschool and to achieve shared goals for children. Our curriculum at Beleura Hill Preschool is an emergent and play based approach where children’s interests and developmental needs are forefront to our learning program; we also believe that children’s families and the local community should influence the program; most importantly we believe that our program should be fun and offer a safe, warm and nurturing environment where families feel supported and children can thrive.
We work in line with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, which identifies five learning outcomes for children. These outcomes have a broad view of the kind of knowledge and skills all children need for them to become confident and happy through their life.
