Our Collaborative Approach and Tailored Curriculum
At St Ives Preschool Kindergarten, we are passionate about collaboration, and we develop our diverse and tailored programs based on the input of families, children's best interests, and the observations of our experienced educators. By integrating these elements and incorporating the Emergent curriculum and Early Years Learning Framework, we develop a strong connection for children between kindergarten and home.
We are proud to provide children with a warm and welcoming environment they are excited to come to every day. By fostering an enriching atmosphere and encouraging children to interact with their peers, we can support their cognitive, social and emotional development.
