Preschool - The Burrow
A place to investigate, connect and thrive
Our Environment
Our preschool learning nook is designed to allow the child to figure out how their world works, they want to learn about themselves and the world around them. During this age the child’s world expands, fulfilling their innate desire to learn through direct sensory experiences with self-teaching materials.
We continue to develop respectful relationships with the children in our care, providing a secure base that gives them the confidence to explore and learn independently.
The focus is to prepare the child for lifelong learning, helping them to develop a strong sense of self, independence, self-motivation and the love of learning.
