At Mascot Public School Preschool, we believe that early childhood education creates the foundations for future learning. We provide an environment where the children in our care feel nurtured and supported whilst engaging in high-quality care and education based on the Early Years Learning Framework. Our pedagogy and programs reflect children’s current interests, strengths, ideas and experiences which contribute to a sense of Belonging, Being & Becoming.
We believe children are capable, competent and active participants in their learning, who can make their own decisions whilst engaged in meaningful play experiences.
We value and recognise each child as an individual, with their own needs, interests and life experiences. Our preschool represents the cultural diversity of the local community, and promotes an inclusive approach, fostering respectful relationships with children, their families and the wider community.
Educators nurture the physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth of children. We are committed to providing a safe, caring environment by providing a holistic approach to teaching and learning. As educators, we work cooperatively and collaboratively. We engage in ongoing critical reflection to improve our practise and therefore achieve the best possible outcomes for our children. We are committed to participating in professional learning to enhance our skills and knowledge of best practice. We believe families are the first and most influential teachers in a child’s life. We always welcome families to share their knowledge, skills and experiences with our children. Families are listened to, respected and involved in shared decision making.
Mascot Preschool is an integral part of Mascot Public School and the wider community. We actively participate in opportunities to engage in whole school and community events to promote a sense of Belonging and to develop an understanding of the diverse community in which we live. A strong transition program to school is provided to support our children to become resilient and adapt to change.
At Mascot Public School Preschool we extend and enrich children’s lives through creating positive and meaningful experiences that will inspire a love of learning.
