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.

Our Reviews On Google
Megan Pritchard2024-12-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our eldest attended Sun Valley this year in the Mon-Tues class and I could not imagine a more wonderful preschool experience for her (and us!) The teachers are all amazing - loving, professional, creative, kind. They go above and beyond to make preschool special for the kids - like wet and wild week last week with a huge inflatable water park in the outdoor area! We have moved away and will no longer be attending next year and I am truly devastated. It is a wonderful preschool and community, and we feel very lucky to have experienced it this year! Nicole2024-11-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such an incredible preschool. So much love from the teachers who are clearly so passionate about providing a positive and enriching learning experience for our kids! Rachael Tiong2024-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing amazing amazing educators who so genuinely care about the kids. Have seen our little one grow so much since joining last year. He loves it there and all of the varied activities they do. So glad we heard about this little gem of a place - would recommend it to anyone looking for a great preschool. Jenta Buie2024-03-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love Sun Valley. We discovered this little gem by chance and our son started there this year. He is already thriving and is bursting with joy every time we tell him it’s a Sun Valley day. The teachers are all truly special people who love what they do. The nurturing supportive environment really lets the children shine. Rike H.2021-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter loved beeing there. Doesn't want to come home with me in the afternoons, because she played so well with the other Kids and loved the storytimes. The teachers helped us so much and were very friendly and understandingly. My daughter came to Sun Valley with not beeing able to speak one english word. A year later she left for "Big School" and is able to speak and express herself towards the kindergartenteachers as if she had lived here in Australia all her life. Thanks for having us. We highly recommend this Preschool.
