Bonbeach Preschool aims to introduce each child to an enjoyable and challenging environment where they can develop a love of learning. The program encompasses all areas of development; intellectual, social, emotional, physical and language enrichment. Bonbeach Preschool offers a play based program based on the needs and interests of the children, using the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) and the thoughts and ideas of many Early Childhood theorists and researchers. Teachers and educators also contribute to the program by introducing concepts, information and experiences to enrich, challenge and extend children’s learning. Bonbeach Preschool curriculum is developed by teachers after direct observation of the children, both individually and as a whole group and in response to the goals that are set for each child’s journey of learning and development. This allows for each child’s preschool experience to be tailored to their needs. We are a child safe organisation and prioritise this in both our pedagogy and practice. We highly value the links between home, preschool, school and the wider community and work in partnership with all of these groups to provide the best start for each child on their education journey. Children are encouraged to freely explore the preschool environment and follow their curiosities, while being guided by the preschool’s dedicated team of staff. Each child explores at their own pace and level and are encouraged by teachers to build confidence, independence and strive for their best. Bonbeach Preschool fosters in each child a feeling of self-worth, kindness, independence, respect for others, tolerance and self-discipline. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Land, the Bunurong members of the Kulin Nation, on which Bonbeach Preschool is situated. We endeavour to develop strong feelings and understanding of belonging and believe in providing an environment which reflects the cultural richness of its members within our day to day program. We have successfully been running a bush and beach kinder program for our four year old groups for the past 9 years. During our assessment and rating process in 2023, we achieved exceeding in all seven quality areas.
