Our Philosophy
Cooks Hill Preschool is a community based Early Childhood Education and Care service that sits on Awabakal land. We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive space for children to play, explore, and learn.
​
Through our two-year program, we nurture children to become confident and inspired learners who show care and respect for themselves, others, and the world around them.
We value the Early Childhood Educators who are committed to supporting the children to develop a solid foundation for lifelong learning and wellbeing.
We value the inclusion of each child to succeed by recognising individual culture, capabilities, and goals.
We believe in play-based learning. We encourage children to engage by extending on their ideas, curiosity, and interests.
We believe in building positive relationships and connections within preschool and our wider community. We respect and acknowledge equality and diversity through our actions and program.
We believe in collaborative partnerships with families. We encourage family engagement and open communication.
We believe in a sustainable future. We support mindful discussion and practices with a collaborative, hands-on approach.
