Deakin Preschool

Children at Deakin Preschool are nurtured and challenged through a play based approach to learning. This Education, which is based on the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme and the Early Years Learning Framework (of the Australian Curriculum) values creativity, personal identity, self-expression, meaning and independence. This approach fosters children's individual needs, interests and skills, creating a learning environment in which children can progress at their own pace. Activities that foster cultural diversity within the community, language, individuality and real life issues are embedded in the programme. Deakin Preschool strongly believes that it is important to recognise and respect diversity within the school, curriculum, families and community.
