About the Centre/Service Leslie Moorhead Preschool is a stand-alone community preschool based in the heart of Mornington. Our aim is to provide a secure, nurturing learning environment ensuring that each child reaches their full potential. We are committed to the inclusion of all children, considering their interests, abilities, culture, gender and family structure. We believe families are our most important source of information in children’s lives. Positive relationships between family, staff and children ensures everyone feels welcome, and encouraged to participate wherever possible to bridge the gap between home, pre-school and the community. The Early Years Learning Framework is embedded within the pre-school, guiding our program. Our strong focus on learning through play encourages children to be curious, independent, creative and resilient learners. Our spacious outdoors and use of natural materials encourages the children to be active and healthy in their play. This provides learning to care for their local natural environment, practice sustainability and acknowledge our indigenous heritage. Our staff and parent committee are dedicated to working together to manage, maintain and continually improve our service.
