Our Philosophy<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div>

Our approach to children and learning<\/span><\/h3>

Our approach to children and learning: The Heights Preschool believes that play is fundamental to young children's development and learning, and that children are competent and capable learners who construct their own knowledge through exploration and discovery. The preschool is committed to providing a high-quality program that is responsive to the needs of each individual child and aims to be inclusive to all..<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>

Collaborative partnerships with families and communities<\/span><\/h3>

The Heights Preschool recognises that parents are the first and most important teachers of their children, and believes that a strong partnership between parents and educators is essential for promoting children's development and learning. The preschool values and encourages parent involvement in every aspect of the program, and strives to maintain open lines of communication with parents through various channels.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Reflective practice and ongoing learning<\/span><\/h3>

The Heights Preschool believe in the importance of critical reflection for educators, and encourages them to regularly assess and improve their teaching practice through self-reflection, feedback from colleagues, and ongoing professional development opportunities. The preschool values collaboration and ongoing learning as a means to continuously improve outcomes for children.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
