Why the Early Years of Preschool are Important

Going to Kindergarten is a big step—for children and for parents. It’s a time filled with new routines, new relationships, and a world of learning. At our School, we believe the best start to school is one that feels gentle, thoughtful and child-led.

A Different Kind of First Day

When a child feels safe, she can be brave. That’s why our early years approach begins with connection—between teacher and child, school and family. We get to know each girl before she even walks through the door, so that when she does, it’s not just a first day. It’s a continuation of a relationship that’s already forming.

The result? Calm mornings, confident steps and a sense of belonging that lasts far beyond Kinder.


Learning Through Joy, Not Pressure

Academic success doesn’t begin with worksheets. It begins with wonder.

Our Early Learning Centre is filled with open-ended materials, quiet corners, and spaces that invite exploration. Educators follow the girls’ interests, building early literacy and numeracy through meaningful, play-based experiences. It’s a thoughtful balance of structure and spontaneity—where learning feels joyful and personal.

Small Steps, Big Impact

The transition to kindergarten from childcare or home is different for every child. Some leap in. Others take their time. A gentle start allows for both.

We support independence in ways that feel achievable: putting on a hat, choosing a book to read, helping a friend. These moments might seem small, but they’re powerful. They build capability, confidence, and a belief in oneself as a learner.

Foundations That Last

A gentle start doesn’t mean a slow one—it means a strong one. Girls who begin school with a sense of calm and connection are more likely to enjoy learning, engage confidently, and develop positive relationships. They’re not just ready for Kinder. They’re ready to thrive.
