Welcome to Salisbury Heights Preschool
Through play we encourage children to use their imagination and creativity by providing open ended activities. Each and every child is respected and valued and is at the centre of the curriculum. Our programme uses the principles and practices of the Early Years Learning Framework to support children’s learning and development. Through our teaching pedagogies we scaffold children’s experiences and ideas, to create a preschool culture that is inclusive of all children and families.
We trust in the value of early childhood education and that a positive sense of self and wellbeing is the foundation for learning success. We believe in promoting a sense of belonging and in encouraging children to take considered risks in their decision making. Children are encouraged to explore the world around them through dramatic play, sensory activities, literacy and numeracy exploration, developing their imagination, curiosity and creativity. We believe that children learn through extended play experiences and enjoyment.
We believe in building respectful and reciprocal relationships with families and the community. We believe that working in partnerships with families will support the holistic development of children. We have a team of passionate and dedicated educators who continue to strive for personal excellence in early childhood education.
PreLit Program
At Salisbury Heights Preschool we engage with the PreLit program. The PreLit Program is a systematic, skills-based program that lays a sound foundation for children to learn to read. Pre-literacy skills and concepts are taught in a fun and engaging way, focusing on phonological awareness and oral language development through structured storybook reading.
