Ballina Fox Street Preschool

We recognise that children's learning and development takes place in the context of their families and that families are the children's first and most important educators. All children are seen as strong, capable and resilient; rich with wonder and knowledge, bringing with them deep curiosity and potential.

Our flexible program supports each child to engage with and explore their uniqueness and diverse perspectives. Children possess agency and are provided with the ability to initiate and lead their own learning, viewed as active participants and decision makers in matters that affect them. There is a strong focus on social collaboration, working in groups, where each child is an equal participant, having their thoughts and questions valued. Children's social, cultural, family and linguistic diversity is valued and supported through equitable access to resources and participation within the program.

​Positive behaviour management approaches support children to self regulate and develop relationships and skills, enabling self advocacy and a safe and secure environment to 'be'.
