Preschool

Our Preschool room caters for twenty children each day and is delivered by an educator who has a Bachelor of Education.

Our early learning program provides an environment that will foster each child’s ability to:

Self regulate and develop resilience
Develop independence and autonomy
Respect and care for others and their environment around them
Contribute to their community
Take on new challenges with confidence
Engage in meaningful trusting relationships with others

Our curriculum offers a variety of learning experiences that cater for each individual child’s developmental abilities, needs and knowledge. Both child initiated and educator facilitated learning is promoted. Children learn many skills through play experiences such as literacy, numeracy, science, social, communication, emotional, independence and wellbeing.

The centres extensive range of resources provides numerous opportunities where children can engage, explore, experiment and investigate during play.

We recognise the importance of the transition from preschool to primary school and that it can a both challenging and exciting for both children, parents and their educators. We will ensure these transitions are successful by building positive commonalty between environments.

“My children have attended Wilcox Street since they were six months old, and we love it. The staff are amazing; they are really welcoming, caring, and nurturing. Not only have they built up strong relationships with my kids, but they continually update me on their progress and development. I am so grateful to the Nursery team for developing my children's curiosity and individual passions. It has been such a relief to know that my children are happy and supported when I am not around. I would highly recommend Wilcox Street and thank them for being our home away from home”

“Wilcox Street Early Education Centre is our daughter’s home away from home. The centre was so accommodating for both our daughter (and us) on the first few weeks where drop offs were emotional and hard. It is now a bittersweet moment each morning when my daughter, who is usually shy and reserved, leans out of my arms to be taken by the educators. Knowing our daughter is in well-educated, safe, and caring arms during the day puts our minds at ease. We love the small numbers in each room, that the educators know our child, and our family, on a personal level, the diverse and nutritious menu, the clear and transparent communication and the regular updates and photos throughout the day. The staff at Wilcox Street go above and beyond to cater for individual dietary requirements, sleeping routines and learning for all abilities. The centre feels like one big family, and we consider ourselves lucky every day that we can send our daughter to Wilcox Street”

“From the moment you walk through the front door of Wilcox Street the centre feels like a warm hug. Everyone says hello, all the carers know my children's names, even though they are not their primary caregivers. My children and their routine/needs are all adopted, and nothing appears to be too much trouble, all suggestions are taken into consideration and communication channels flow both ways. I would recommend the centre to my friends, and we look forward to spending many more days at Wilcox Street!!”
