Our Preschool Program
At Sun Valley Preschool, we provide a nurturing and dynamic learning environment designed to support the development of children aged 3 to 5 years. Our program is deeply rooted in the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), ensuring each child’s learning experience is meaningful, engaging, and aligned with the goals of the national curriculum.
We believe in the power of play as the cornerstone of early childhood education. Through play, children explore, experiment, and develop essential skills for their future learning. Our educators provide a rich range of play-based experiences that promote school readiness, helping children develop the social, emotional, and cognitive skills necessary for a smooth transition to formal schooling.
A key feature of our program is the integration of Brain Gym activities, which enhance brain development, improve focus, and support motor coordination. By incorporating movement-based activities into our daily routine, we empower children to engage their bodies and minds in ways that promote concentration, learning, and overall well-being.
We embrace the concept of the environment as the third teacher. The natural surroundings of our location, along with carefully designed indoor and outdoor spaces, encourage children to interact with their environment, fostering curiosity, problem-solving, and creativity. Children learn best when they have the freedom to explore, and our educators provide guidance and support to help them make sense of the world around them.
Family and community involvement is at the heart of our program. We actively encourage input to ensure our curriculum reflects the values and interests of families. This collaboration fosters a sense of belonging and ownership, as children, families, and educators shape the learning journey together.
Our child-driven program is built on the children’s interests, with educators observing, engaging in dialogue, and designing meaningful learning experiences. Through thoughtful questioning and support, we challenge and guide each child in their development.
We are committed to critical reflection and forward planning. Our educators use ongoing reflective practices, drawing on early childhood theory, National Quality Standards (NQS), and professional expertise to create a responsive, high-quality learning environment that meets the needs of every child.
In line with our inclusive philosophy, we collaborate closely with KU Inclusion Support to ensure all children, including those with diverse needs, are fully supported and empowered to thrive in our preschool.
