Why us

Our aim

Our aim is to prepare children for lifelong learning and provide them with a solid foundation on which to build.

Concepts required for future learning are constructed through exploration, discussion, cooperation and the sharing of knowledge. Play allows children to develop at their own pace and discover the world around them in a style that connects with them individually. Our play environments, incorporating both indoor and outdoor spaces, are designed and developed to ignite a love for learning, and inspire children to direct their own growth through the ability to make choices and develop confidence.

Supporting you and your child to have a positive transition into this new and exciting chapter.

Why Macquarie College Preschool?

The first day of preschool is a milestone in the life of your child – a time when they step out as an individual.

We aim to make this transition as smooth and exciting as possible. We work with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), adhere to the Early Childhood Australia Code of Ethics and draw inspiration from the principles of Reggio Emilia’s philosophy around nature play. We participate in shared experiences with the larger College community.

Moving forward

This helps to provide a smooth transition to kindergarten for our Preschool students
