Our Philosophy
At St Thomas' Preschool, we provide excellent nutruring early childhood education for your child in preparation for formal schooling and for life
The philosophy of the Preschool is founded on and shaped by Christian beliefs.
We value …
Each child, who is created in God’s image and loved by God as a unique individual with a range of capabilities, experiences and relationships.
Every child’s right to feel safe and secure in their Preschool environment and we recognise that when they do, they will build a sense of belonging to their Preschool community.
Respectful relationships with families, recognising they are their child’s most significant teachers throughout their life. We enjoy and appreciate the diversity and partnership that each family brings to our Preschool.
Our teaching team, whose commitment, professionalism, innovation, knowledge and relationships bring warmth, depth and expertise to the preschool program
We value to…
Daily opportunities to read the Bible, pray and share God’s love with the children, families and community.
Sustainable environments where we can enjoy, respect and care for the natural environment at Preschool and beyond.
Rich, engaging learning programs with evidence of the children’s voices, the teachers’ intentions and accessible to all.
Lifelong learning and we view Preschool as an important opportunity to prepare children for learning in a variety of contexts throughout their life.
