KU - Peter Pan Paddington Pre-School

At KU Peter Pan Paddington, we view children as capable, resourceful and active contributors to their own development and learning. We use intentional teaching and engage children in play-based learning to promote the holistic development of each child. Our program supports children to develop the skills and knowledge needed to facilitate a successful transition to school. We believe that children consolidate knowledge and skills at different times and that individualised approaches support each child to develop at their own pace.

At KU Peter Pan Paddington, our learning environment provides a safe and stimulating space, where the children have a say in what resources, provisions and equipment they would like to use to assist in the development and extension of their learning. Through this process, they learn how to confidently communicate and negotiate these choices and learn that their voices are important.

Our program offers children the opportunity to engage in a wide variety of learning experiences and activities, including gardening, arts and crafts, music and movement, physical play, construction, sand and water play, science experiments, numeracy activities such as counting and measurement, and early literacy activities such as listening to stories, drawing and writing.
