Woodroffe Preschool

The purpose of the Woodroffe Preschool is to provide a stimulating and supportive educational environment as a basis for later learning. This will increase each child's opportunity to develop the appropriate language, thinking, social and movement skills, knowledge and attitudes. The program is planned to cater for the learning and needs of individual children.

Preschool education is not compulsory, however, it is the preferred first stage of Primary School. The Preschool program provides a balance between free play and teacher planned activities both for individual children and groups. It allows the child to move easily between home and school and establishes a pattern of continuity in the child's learning.

The Woodroffe Preschool children attend either a morning session from 8:00 - 11:00 am or an afternoon session 11:30 - 2:30 pm. Children's names can be placed on our waiting list from the age of 3 years old. Weekly parental contributions are set by the School Council on advice from the Preschool Sub-Committee made up of parents. The Preschool is staffed by two Teachers and two School Assistants.
