At Wonderschool, school readiness is about much more than letters and numbers. Our preschool program is designed to help children develop the confidence, curiosity and emotional tools they need to approach kindergarten ready to connect, communicate and learn.
Our preschool rooms are led by qualified Early Childhood Teachers and our curriculum is aligned to the Early Years Learning Framework (Belonging, Being and Becoming). Inspired by the Reggio Emilia model, we see children as capable, active learners who are co-collaborators in their own education, not passive recipients of it.
Children in our preschool program regularly engage in:
- Inquiry-based projects that build critical thinking, communication and creative problem-solving
- Loose parts play, which gives children the freedom to be the inventors of their own learning
- Group experiences that develop social skills, resilience and the ability to self-regulate
- Emotional development coaching, with educators supporting children to name and manage their feelings
Families receive two comprehensive summative assessments each year, providing a clear picture of your child's progress in line with the national framework.
Wonderschool is also an approved three-year-old preschool provider in the ACT. Eligible families may be able to access the free three-year-old preschool program at select centres. Contact us to find out more about availability at your nearest location.
