Preschool Devonport (3.5 – 5 Years Early Learning Program)
At 1912 Child Care & Early Learning Centre in Devonport, our Preschool program provides high-quality early learning for children aged 3.5 to 5 years, supporting their development, confidence, and readiness for school.
Our passionate educators are dedicated to each child’s happiness, wellbeing, and learning. We value every child’s interests and believe that play-based learning is the foundation for meaningful development in early childhood.
Play-Based Learning That Builds Strong Foundations
Our Preschool program is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), focusing on each child’s individual strengths, needs, and interests.
Through engaging, play-based experiences, children are supported to:
- Develop social and emotional skills
- Build confidence and independence
- Strengthen communication and language skills
- Learn problem-solving and decision-making
Play also supports children to build relationships, resolve conflicts, negotiate, and regulate their behaviour, while promoting a strong sense of wellbeing and belonging.
Engaging Learning Environments & Experiences
We provide a rich environment filled with child-initiated, open-ended learning experiences that encourage children to explore, investigate, and create.
Our flexible daily program includes:
- Active indoor and outdoor play
- Physical development and movement
- Music, creative arts, and expression
- Opportunities for exploration, inquiry, and discovery
Children are encouraged to make choices and engage in activities independently, fostering confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.
Building Confidence, Relationships & Wellbeing
Our Preschool program supports the development of social competence and positive relationships. Through play and guided interactions, children learn to cooperate, share, and work together with others.
Interactive learning environments and displays that reflect children’s participation help create a strong sense of belonging within the centre.
School Readiness & Family Partnerships
We work closely with families to support each child’s transition to school. Through strong partnerships, we collaboratively plan learning goals that support school readiness and achieve EYLF outcomes.
At 1912 Child Care Devonport, our Preschool program provides a supportive and engaging environment where children develop the skills, confidence, and independence needed for a successful start to school.
