CENTRE PHILOSOPHY
We at Taylors Hill Kindergarten aim to work with the local community to provide a quality, inclusive preschool service that offers innovation, stimulation, aesthetically pleasing environments and lots of fun and learning. We want children to learn about themselves, relate and work with others positively, control and express their emotions appropriately.
The educational program is designed to take into account the children’s interests and skill development across all areas of development. The program is implemented in a play-based environment which will invite all children and families to experiment, challenge themselves, enjoy, develop relationships,
grow together, and build positive self-images.
Learning through play will allow children to develop at their own pace, while gaining the confidence and skills needed to succeed in the more formal environment that they will come across at school.
