PRESCHOOL

At Allenby Gardens Primary School we are very fortunate to have an on-site preschool. 

As we are located on the school site, we offer an extended transition to school program for children who will be attending Allenby Gardens Primary School.

Our preschool provides a unique, stimulating and caring learning environment where children are inspired to explore, create and guide their own learning. We have an extensive outdoor area which encourages outdoor exploration and learning for a large part of the day.

The learning program at Allenby Gardens Preschool is developed using The Early Years Learning Framework V2 Belonging, Being, Becoming.

Educators take a holistic approach toward children’s learning, development and wellbeing. We are respectful of and recognise the rich potential of every child. We see all children as competent and capable and active participants in their own learning who are able to make choices about what and how they learn. Through exploration and play children develop strong social and emotional wellbeing, a growth mindset and positive dispositions for their future learning and development.
