Spanish Australian Preschool 28 Astrolabe Street, Red Hill, Australian Capital Territory 2603
About the Business
Welcome to the Spanish Australian Preschool, located at 28 Astrolabe Street in Red Hill, Australia. As a unique educational center, we are proud to deliver the Australian Early Years Learning Framework in a bilingual (Spanish/English) and cross-cultural environment.
Are you looking for a preschool for your child? We are currently accepting enrolments for January 2023, and we invite you to book a tour to come and spend some time with us, learning about SAPS.
At the Spanish Australian Preschool, we offer a dynamic and progressive cross-cultural curriculum that aligns with the practices and outcomes of the Australian EYLF. Our program is designed to encourage inquiry and child-initiated projects, ensuring that activities do not happen in isolation.
As an initiative of Bilingual Schools Australia, our primary goal is to provide children with the opportunity to develop a solid foundation in both Spanish and English, while navigating their early years. We believe in a holistic approach to education, where experiences are planned with the children at the center of our program.
Our mission is to foster understanding of the world through bilingualism. We deliver the EYLF in both Spanish and English, promoting cross-cultural understanding and inclusivity of all cultures. We firmly believe that our families, educators, and community play a fundamental role in the success of our program. With a dedication to professional development, we are committed to continuous improvement to ensure the best care is given to our children, enabling them to reach their full potential.
Empathy lies at the heart of our values and mission. We aim to develop future leaders who have the capacity to connect with others while viewing the world with an open mind. Bilingualism enhances executive function, leading to the development of empathy.
Excellence, viewed through the lens of bilingualism, not only means potentially better academic performance but also kinder leaders. Research suggests that literacy and numeracy skills are improved in individuals exposed to more than one language.
Community is at the core of who we are. Our mission is to provide a service for the Australian community, preparing leaders for the global community in a way that ensures national and international opportunities do not pass them by.
The Spanish Australian Preschool is an initiative of Bilingual Schools Australia, and in the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community. We extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
Join us at the Spanish Australian Preschool and embark on a bilingual and cross-cultural journey that will shape your child's future. Book a tour today and discover the unique opportunities that await at SAPS. Dhawura Nguna Dhawura Ngunnawal.

Reviews
"Putting our little one into the Spanish Australian Preschool is one of the best decisions we have ever made. Our family doesn’t have a Spanish background, but that hasn’t stopped Miss B from thriving. She truly enjoys her little school, and is proud to be learning a second language. She has best friends and loves the teachers and staff. We are happy and confident when we do drop off, that Miss B is happy and safe, with all her needs met - and more. We now belong to a fabulous community, giving Miss B extra opportunities outside of school hours to participate in other Spanish language and cultural experiences."
"SAP is Zia’s other hogar (home). He loves the staff and children. We have forged deep friendships within the SAP community. Zia’s Spanish has grown beyond my hopes. He is now playing with constructing his own sentences and unexpectedly makes jokes in Spanish at times! We couldn’t be happier with SAP and highly recommend who wants to offer their child a bilingual exposure in a supportive community with dedicated and professional staff."
"The Spanish Australian preschool (SAPS) is the gold standard of early childhood education. I thought my previous centre was fine, but I had no real basis for comparison. Now I see what is possible in a centre that emphasises high quality, child-led educational programs. Chris, the Director, is so passionate about the centre and what they do. All the educators go above and beyond on a daily basis to provide rich educational experiences for the kids. I'm constantly impressed by the thought and effort put into each activity. Chris and the educators form strong attachments with the children, and take time to fill you in on their day every afternoon at pick up. I'm so glad I took a chance on SAPS, and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting quality, highly personalised care for their kids."
"As a Spain-born living in Canberra, ever since our daughter started childcare, I was hoping that such a service was provided in Canberra. I am very grateful that Cristina and her team made that possible. The building and garden are lovely and it feels like leaving her with own family. And at home we have re-started to have some complete Spanish/Catalan speaking days, so everyone is a winner through the process."
