Our Philosophy
Cooks Hill Preschool is a community based Early Childhood Education and Care service that sits
on Awabakal land. We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive space for
children to play, explore, and learn.
Through our two-year program, we nurture children to become confident and inspired learners
who show care and respect for themselves, others, and the world around them.
We value the Early Childhood Educators who are committed to
supporting the children to develop a solid foundation for lifelong
learning and wellbeing.
We believe in play-based learning. We encourage children to
engage by extending on their ideas, curiosity,
and interests.
We value the inclusion of each child to succeed by
recognising individual culture, capabilities,
and goals.
We believe in building positive relationships and connections
within preschool and our wider community. We respect and
acknowledge equality and diversity through our actions and program.
We believe in collaborative partnerships with families.
We encourage family engagement and
open communication.
We believe in a sustainable future. We support mindful
discussion and practices with a collaborative, hands-on
approach.
