Bingara Gorge Community Preschool | Big Fat Smile

Welcome to Bingara Gorge Community Preschool, a part of Big Fat Smile! Located at Wilton, Jackson Lane, 1, our preschool is an establishment and point of interest in Australia. Big Fat Smile is a not-for-profit organization with centers in the Illawarra, Sydney, and the South Coast. Our goal is to enrich the lives and minds of children and families in our communities.

Choosing the perfect preschool for your child is a big decision, and we understand the importance of thorough research and exploring all your options. That's why we have created this webpage to provide you with all the information you need to start your child's education and care journey.

At Bingara Gorge Community Preschool, we offer a range of programs and services to cater to the needs of children and families. Our Fun Club kids rave about our exciting school holiday program, which leaves them happy, inspired, and a little bit exhausted at the end of each day.

If you share our vision and values, we are always looking for passionate individuals to join our organization. From trainees to Directors, there are opportunities available in our Head Office Team, Inclusion Agency, and more.

We prioritize the well-being and development of children by ensuring the best possible staffing ratios, highly qualified teachers, and nurturing play environments that foster their creative expression.

We understand the importance of a strong start in life, which is why our Include Me program delivers support to families and educators to ensure children receive the best possible start.

When the time comes for your child to transition to big school or early childhood education and care, Big Fat Smile can provide practical support, community events, information, and current research to assist you in making the right decisions.

Our values guide all our practices, from our Head Office to our educators in services, ensuring a consistent and high-quality experience for children and families.

We take pride in offering nutritious meals to our children. Our cooks and staff explore ways to expand their palates while providing the essential nutrients for their growth and development.

Outdoor play-based learning is an integral part of our philosophy. All our services have outdoor areas that allow children to explore and learn in the wonder of the great outdoors.
