"When children feel safe, secure and supported, they grow in confidence to explore and learn"
At Rouse Hill Preschool, we understand that your child’s development influences all aspects of their lives. As early childhood educators, we understand the importance of forging warm, nurturing relationships with both the children in our care and their families. We strive to provide the highest quality care, in a safe, comfortable and creative environment where children can play and learn. Rouse Hill Preschool has embedded the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) within our philosophy and practices, and ensure that all children’s voices are heard through our programming and planning.
Belonging, Being & Becoming
At Rouse Hill Preschool, we embed the values and principles as outlined in the Early Years Learning Framework. The framework guides us in our everyday practices, programs and procedures for the children in our care through the early years to their positive transition to school.
