Birralee Preschool
At Birralee Preschool, they offer an educational program that is developmentally built. The emotional, social physical, and intellectual development of every child is evaluated and planned through play that is natural and spontaneous, helping them to progress to the next phase of development. Therefore, the child has to react to the environment around him or her in order to understand the meaning of the world around him or her.
Under the direction of the Department of Education and Education and Training’ (DET) in relation to the Victorian Early Years Learning Framwork (EYLF) The teachers responsibility is to facilitate an active and engaged learning experience across the various types of knowledge by creating an environment where every child is able to explore with all of their senses, move their body, develop learning skills, build self-confidence, and use their the creative skills. The teacher constantly encourages every child to be independent and to be able to communicate with others, to recognize and work through their own issues and to be curious, as well as to feel confident in what they do.
Children learn best through doing rather than listening to them and therefore active learning is at the core of their pre-school development program.
It is a feeder kindergarten that is connected to Holy Saviour Primary School. Weeden Heights Elementary School, and Livingstone Elementary School.
They have a gorgeous large, natural and spacious playground that includes a huge sandpit, mud kitchen vegetable patch where kids can grow and care for fruit and vegetables, a Cubbyhouse, climbing frame swings and sandpits. Indoor facilities comprise a family corner, designated block alcove, reading area, quiet space with plenty of space for play, modern furniture, tables, and chairs (updated by 2020) large bathroom, and bags hooks to hang children’s items.
Their Philosophy
The purpose of Birralee Preschool is to help children to develop and learn by providing developmentally appropriate experiences that allow all children to be successful in a secure and safe setting.
They meet and support the needs of every child, as well as the expectations of families. The preschoolers believe parents are the primary and foremost educators of their children. They believe that the most effective learning happens when preschool and home form an alliance. Every child is different, and they try their best to help nurture their unique talents in a safe and sociable environment. Children benefit from meaningful playing. Their play-based, child-centered programs demonstrate an integration between physical emotional, social, cognitive as well as self-help, language and aesthetic areas to ensure the complete development of the child. Play that is meaningful stimulates curiosity, learning and problem solving that encourages individual growth and the development of an optimistic self-image.
The students follow VEYLDF as well as the EYLF as their curricula and are subsidized by the government.
