Whitford Family Centre has
two Pre-Kindy programs.

Our Pre-Kindy programs are socialisation based and focus on children learning through play. We endeavour to provide high quality care that meets the needs of the community. It is our commitment to work side by side with parents and share the role of caring and educating children in their early years.

 

In our programs we place an emphasis on learning through play in a fun stimulating environment, while preparing children for their journey into “school”. Children are encouraged to participate in a wide range of activities, incorporating music, arts, dramatic play, science and maths.

Our program enhances children’s self-esteem, encourages respect for peoples cultural diversities in an inclusive environment. These support age-appropriate learning and help children develop their gross and fine-motor skills, language ability and cognitive processing. They also assist with social and emotional development and include fun activities like music and art and craft.
