(Our Mission and Philosophy)

When it comes to caring for our children it is Wauchope Preschool Kindergarten Inc.’s mission to:

.... provide a fun, educational and caring environment where children can experience the thrill of learning, joy of friendship and build a strong foundation for their future schooling. A place where families feel welcome and involved in all aspects of the program and the operation of the pre-school.

We believe that:

1) Children should have the opportunity to develop individually in an atmosphere of care and acceptance.

2) Children should be provided with stimulating experiences with a variety of equipment.

3) Children should have the freedom to be creative and develop self-esteem.

4) Pre-school should be a place where the whole family can be gently extended into the community.

5) Children should be provided with programs designed to extend and appreciate their individuality and develop their ability to think for themselves, to be independent and co-operative members of a group.

6) Children should be provided with an opportunity to relate to adults and children outside the family.

7) Pre-school should provide a valuable experience where a child can laugh, cry, shout and be silent and know that he/she is understood.
