At Leslie Moorhead Pre-School, we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where every child is supported to flourish and reach their full potential. We celebrate each child’s unique interests, abilities, culture, and family background, ensuring their voices are always heard and valued.
We aim to create a space where children feel happy, secure, and empowered. We honour and support all children, alongside our long-standing dedicated staff and volunteers. Recognising families as the most important source of insight into their children’s lives, we embrace the rich diversity and individuality each family brings. By fostering open, respectful, and collaborative relationships between staff and families, we promote seamless continuity of learning and emotional support from home to pre-school, school, and the wider community.
We warmly encourage family participation, inviting them to share their cultural traditions, celebrations, and meaningful experiences. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in the professionalism, dedication, and genuine care demonstrated by our friendly and skilled team.
Our program is thoughtfully tailored to meet the needs of each child, guided by our families, our Philosophy, the National Quality Standard (NQS), the Victorian Early Years Learning Framework, the Early Years Assessment and Learning Tool, and Child Safe Standards.
We believe in the power of learning through play, inspiring children to be curious, independent, creative, and resilient learners. Our spacious outdoor environment, enriched with natural materials, encourages children to explore, imagine, and discover, fostering a deep respect for their local environment and promoting sustainable practices.
We value strong community partnerships, which enhance our educational programs and broaden children’s understanding of the world through both onsite and offsite experiences.
We hold a deep respect for First Nations culture, recognising its role in fostering a connection to the natural world and a sense of unity that children will carry with them throughout their lives.
French language is seamlessly integrated into daily activities, providing children with meaningful opportunities to engage through play, music, singing, dancing, cooking, and storytelling.
Together, our staff and parent committee collaborate to manage, maintain, and continually improve the quality of our service, ensuring the best possible experience for every child and family.
