Iluka Preschool

Our staff are supportive and encouraging and communicate with the children in a friendly, positive, courteous manner to establish a warm and caring relationship with each child in their care.  We also take photos throughout the day which you can view on the laptop near the sign in sheet.

 

Programming

Our Program is based on the Early Years Learning Framework.  Both the Framework and the Guide are designed to engage educators in critical thinking, reflection and inquiry.  They recognise that there is not one right way to provide for children’s learning.  They provide a range of ways to think about children’s learning.
