Eltham Preschool 907 Main Road, Eltham, Victoria 3095

Welcome to Eltham Preschool, a beloved institution that has been serving the Eltham community with high-quality Kindergarten education for over 60 years! Located on Main Road, 907, our establishment is a point of interest and a school that prides itself on delivering exceptional programs for young children.

At Eltham Preschool, we have a team of nurturing and qualified educators who are dedicated to creating a bright, welcoming, and inspiring playroom for your child. We also boast two beautiful outdoor play areas where children can explore, discover, and unleash their creativity. Our playgrounds are large and leafy, providing ample shade and numerous opportunities for your child to engage in imaginative play. From a bike track to a large covered sandpit with a deck, a bridge and river fed by our own tank water, and even a fire engine, there's no shortage of excitement at our preschool!

We are proud to display the Kinder Tick, which certifies that our program is recognized as a funded kindergarten program. This ensures that families can have confidence in the quality of education we provide. We value the outdoor environment and believe that children benefit greatly from experiencing seasonal changes and opportunities for physical development in a garden setting. To enrich your child's learning experience, we also organize excursions, incursions, and community interactions, allowing them to explore the world around them and feel connected to their community.

Celebrating diversity is an essential part of our curriculum, and we incorporate various cultural events throughout the year. We encourage families to share their values, skills, and traditions to enrich the learning experience for all children. Our 4-year-old program also attends Bush Kinder each week at a nature site in our local community. Rain or shine, children have the opportunity to engage in unstructured play, exploration, and learning.

Safety is our utmost priority, and we are committed to providing a safe and fun environment for children to flourish. Our Preschool's philosophy is rooted in the National Quality Framework and guides our teaching and approach to early learning. If you would like more information about our philosophy, please feel free to ask for a copy.

As part of the Y, an organization with over 20 years of experience in delivering Early Learning Programs, we are passionate about creating safe, fun, and educational environments where children can thrive. We believe in the power of inspired young people, and there's no better time to begin inspiring them than in an Early Learning program.
