PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

The PeachTree Kindergarten aims to provide the highest quality educational program and care for your child. Accordingly, our curriculum has been collaboratively developed by teachers, early childhood educators, local schools, the NSW Education Department, the local community and the families of the PeachTree Kindergarten. Our goal is to deliver a program that facilitates a smooth and successful transition of our young children and their families into school.

As early childhood educators, the educators at the PeachTree Kindergarten realise the importance of developing essential skills of children in our care in their readiness for school. Through our highly accredited School Readiness Program our highly qualified educators promote a number of skills of children in our care as outlined by ACECQA including literacy, numeracy, social, cognitive, physical and emotional skills.

By building positive relationships with the children in our care we also help them to build self-esteem and confidence which is vital for an effective transition to take place. Building skills such as turn taking, sharing, making friends and being independent are skills that need to be supported and developed.

Most of these skills are developed and experienced everyday throughout our daily routines and in both intentional and spontaneous teaching and learning activities such as reading, writing, singing, turn-taking, sharing, making friends and being independent. We encourage exploration, experimentation and investigation and facilitate this through individual, small or large group experiences. This includes both language and music group times that are a key factor in which these skills can be expressed and developed.
