Welcome to Meek’s Preschool and Early Learning Centre!
Meek’s Preschool and Early Learning Centre provide a learning environment for children that is warm, nurturing, fun and stimulating. We strive to ensure the environments are safe, hygienic and well supervised. We will foster children’s development by motivating and inspiring children to be the best learners that they can be. We know that children learn through play and need a balance of open ended commercial and natural resources to promote social interactions, spontaneity, risk-taking, exploration, discovery and a connection with animals and nature.
Our relationships with families
Meek’s Preschool and Early Learning Centre recognises that families are the foundation in children’s growth and development. Educators will develop positive relationships with families based on mutual trust and a high level of open communication, supporting predictability and continuity for the children. We will make decisions together with families to ensure the children are learning to their best ability and in a collaborative manner with their home life. We will help to guide and support families in their role, while also learning from families in order to achieve the best outcomes for their children.
Our interactions with children
Our Educators’ interactions with children will be positive, constructive and always encouraging. Educators will, at all times, role model the behaviours that we are teaching the children. Educators will acknowledge the uniqueness and potential of every single child to best meet their needs. Educators will demonstrate understanding and acceptance when dealing with challenging behaviour.
We pride ourselves at being proactive to help each child build on their existing strengths and skills and also identify areas that may need attention. Our service promises to work together with each family to achieve individual milestones and goals.
Meek’s Preschool and Early Learning Centre will provide children with a regular routine where they will be given adequate time for meals and rest. Every day we will provide experiences which will give each child the opportunity to explore music and movement, language, science, art, culture and mathematics.
Our curriculum
Our Curriculum is set and overseen by qualified Early Childhood Educators with more than 15 years experience teaching young minds. Our programming is based on the Reggio Emilia approach; an innovative, inspiring approach to early childhood education which values the child as strong, capable and resilient; rich with wonder and knowledge. Every child brings with them deep curiosity and potential and this innate curiosity drives their interest to understand their world and their place within it. Our weekly program does not separate play from learning and will be led by the children’s interests with opportunities for each child to interact with nature, animals and the exciting world around them. We will also provide the opportunity for each child to experience dignity of risk in order to learn new skills and achieve goals.
