Our Preschool

A warm and heartfelt welcome to our preschool families! We are overjoyed to embark on this incredible journey of learning, growth, and discovery with your little learners.

At Athelstone, we believe in creating an environment that not only fosters learning and development but also embraces the unique qualities that make each child special. We have dedicated ourselves to providing a secure space where your child can explore, learn, and play freely. A nurturing environment is the foundation of every child’s early education. We are committed to providing a space where your child feels safe, loved and encouraged. We are here to support your child’s social, emotional, and cognitive development, creating a holistic and enriching experience.

At Athelstone Preschool, we pride ourselves on developing strong relationships with each other, our learners, parent community and service providers. We continuously strive to embrace the whole child whilst they are in our learning environment. We have embedded
processes and approaches to teaching, learning, development and assessment that recognises our learners as a community with shared knowledge as well as recognising each learner as an individual. Children’s individual strengths, areas of interests, prior knowledge, experiences, unique personalities, and their right to be seen, heard, cared for and appreciated is the heart of Athelstone Preschool.

We respect that each child is a unique individual, and we cherish the individuality that makes them shine. It is through our commitment to supporting children’s emotional wellbeing and learning experiences that respond to children’s current needs, interests and wonderings that we aim to inspire a love for learning that is as unique as each child. Additionally, we hope for all children to become socially equipped and well-rounded citizens, ready to navigate the complexities of the world with empathy, resilience, and a sense of community.

Thank you for trusting us with the privilege of being a part of your child’s learning journey. We look forward to building lasting connections, fostering growth, and creating cherished memories together. Welcome to the Athelstone Preschool community, where every child is celebrated, every culture is embraced, and every day is an exciting new adventure!
