MISSION STATEMENT
We believe that through the uniqueness of each child, they learn and develop best when exploring their world through stimulating, enriching and challenging play so as to reach their potential as a wholistic member of our Community.
PHILOSOPHY
We at Windsor Preschool welcome every child to a safe, secure and inclusive environment, instilling respect for First Nations Peoples and embracing all cultures free from bias.
Windsor Preschool believes children learn and develop best when exploring their world through stimulating, engaging and challenging play. Our environment provides opportunities for children to reach their potential in the areas of: physical abilities, creative arts, problem solving, mathematical skills, language and literacy, caring for Country and the importance of sustainability. We uphold the shared values of always showing respect, never being greedy, and not taking too much from Country. We build positive and collaborative relationships with peers and Educators, emphasising that love applies to all living things on the land; we don't own the land; the land owns us.
The children of Windsor Preschool believe “ it is important to care for everything and everyone”.
Families are a core pillar of our community at the centre and bring hopes and ideals about their child’s education and learning to the centre. We encourage families to have input into our program and are committed to the continuous formal and informal reflection/improvement on effective means for family engagement. We value the importance of Early Childhood education and the role it plays in laying the foundation for lifelong learning and love of learning.
Throughout your child’s Preschool journey, staff are intentional in their teaching experiences as we believe in building rich relationships with the children and therefore the children are our priority. We believe young children learn effectively through hands on experiences and provide experiences to engage and challenge the children. Educators utilise structured programs, working in conjunction with local schools to prepare our children for their school journey.
Our children are given positive guidance within the bounds of age-appropriate acceptable behaviour. We model fairness, resilience, care and respect, whilst promoting children’s rights, wellbeing, building self-esteem and encouraging independence. Educators recognise the importance of relationships amongst all stakeholders and the influence of these relationships on the program.
Windsor Preschool has developed strong bonds within the community and values the Community and the contributions it makes to our service.
“We as the Management Committee believe Windsor Preschool is a vital part of our community and the community is a vital part of the Preschool.”
