Junior Preschool Devonport (2.5 – 3.5 Years Early Learning)
At 1912 Child Care & Early Learning Centre in Devonport, our Junior Preschool program provides a warm, friendly, and stimulating environment for children aged 2.5 to 3.5 years, supporting their transition into a more structured early learning setting.
We create engaging, play-based learning environments where children are encouraged to explore, experiment, and discover. Each child is supported individually through achievable challenges that build confidence, skills, and a love of learning.
Preparing for Preschool Through Play-Based Learning
Our Junior Preschool program introduces a more structured, curriculum-based early learning environment, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).
Children participate in a range of activities designed to support:
- Early literacy and numeracy skills
- Problem-solving and critical thinking
- Confidence and independence
- School readiness
Through play, children build essential skills while remaining engaged in meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences.
Building Independence & Confidence
We focus on encouraging independence and self-help skills by incorporating children’s interests into daily routines and planned experiences.
Our program includes:
- Individual, small group, and large group activities
- Opportunities to make choices and solve problems
- Experiences that build confidence and self-esteem
- Activities that support emotional and social development
This approach helps children develop the confidence they need as they prepare for the next stage of their learning journey.
Supporting Social Skills & Friendships
At this stage, children’s friendships and cooperative play skills are rapidly developing. Our educators support this growth through guided interactions and collaborative learning experiences.
We use both educator-led and peer interactions to scaffold learning across all areas of development, including:
- Communication and language skills
- Social and emotional development
- Cooperation and teamwork
- Respect and inclusion
Our Junior Preschool program provides high-quality early learning in Devonport, helping children build strong relationships and essential life skills.
