Your child’s curiosity, autonomy and creativity are explored and developed with Educators, programs and resources that challenge their learning and support their emerging interests.
Your child will be given the space and opportunities for their physical, personal, social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing to flourish, and develop cognitive learning skills that they’ll build upon throughout their lives.
They’ll enjoy challenging experiences that help them form strategies like open questioning, problem-solving and explaining to foster shared thinking.
Through observation and listening, we question and suggest new possibilities encouraging children to search and explore meaning in their lives. Educators are intentional in facilitating experiences where each child’s eagerness and curiosity is fostered and creative thinking encouraged.
At Paisley Park we believe successful school preparation not only aids effective transition to school but importantly, facilitates a lifetime love for learning and success.
Our unique and specialised program dovetails with the National School Curriculum and includes an additional focus on building confidence, independence, autonomy and resilience.
Your child’s Educators have a significant influence on their learning and growth.
We understand the importance of these relationships for your child and are intentional in choosing Educators to join our team who have a special blend of experience, care and a genuine interest in children’s growth and development.
Your child’s Educator will get to know them on an individual level, understanding their interests and talents and weaving these into the activities of the day.
At every stage of the learning journey, from infancy through to school readiness, our Educators encourage and nurture your child’s interests and abilities through play-based learning.
We acknowledge the importance of literacy education in helping children communicate and express themselves. Daily experiences and activities help children develop their skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking, across all age groups.
Music is an artistic vehicle for self-expression that trains your child’s brain for higher forms of thinking. Children have daily opportunities to explore various forms of music, such as contemporary, classical, traditional and modern.
Technology is embedded into our daily lives, so to complement our learning activities and prepare your child for the fast-paced digital world, they’ll use different technologies to challenge thinking and encourage creative expression.
Nurturing a child’s imagination is a brilliant way to foster divergent learning, so we help your child develop their creativity with clay, plaster, dough, paint, collage, drawing and printmaking and more so they can cultivate their own creative thinking.
Spending time in nature and exploring natural landscapes will help your child with physical and motor skills, social skills, and help them learn by interacting with living creatures, like bugs, birds, butterflies and more, on a daily basis.
