ABOUT US

Playpen Pre School is a privately owned, community-based early childhood organisation, offering a happy, homely atmosphere with qualified, caring staff.  We operate on a non-discriminatory basis, according equal treatment and access to services without regard to race, colour, religion, national origin or ancestry.  Our fees include cooked nutritional meals (breakfast, lunch, mid-morning/afternoon snack and juice).

Playpen children take part in a fun structured programme set by the Education Department for Early Childhood Development and are encouraged to develop to their full potential. We are open during the week (Monday to Friday) between 7am and 5.15pm, including Government school term holidays (closed on Public Holidays).

OUR MISSION & VALUES

Our mission at Playpen Pre School is to provide an environment that is stimulating, nurturing and supportive to young children, where young children can discover that they are important and where learning can be fun.   The school’s philosophy is to recognise and accept the uniqueness of each child; to create an experience where children can comfortably and freely explore their environment to permit development in a way that are natural for every child.  Our goal is to help your child develop a positive self-concept, with a strong foundation for life-long learning and an inspiration to excel through a challenging curriculum focused on academics as well as social-emotional development in a safe, happy, homely environment.
