Proudly celebrating 27 years of providing community based, not-for-profit, high quality early childhood education. To provide a beautiful, inspiring environment that stimulates wonder and curiosity in children and where relationships are built on respect, care and empathy producing warm, lifelong childhood memories.
The Preschool is located at Pretty Beach on the Central Coast of NSW and is licensed to take children aged from 2 to 6. The preschool is required under Government Legislation to give priority to children the year before school, 4-year old's then 3-year old's, so therefore of recent years we have been unable to offer 2-year old's a position.

Learning environment
Report
We follow the Early Years Learning Framework as per our programming policy. This is Australia's rst national Early Years Learning Framework for early childhood educators. The aim of this document is to extend and enrich children's learning from birth to Five years and through the transition to school.
Literacy learning
Report
Recent research confirms that literacy starts well before children enter school and that the early years of life are the most critical for learning. The literacy understandings and experiences that take place before school age are a key factor in lifelong successful literacy learning.
At Pretty Beach Community Preschool we work in partnership with families, developing an understanding about children's home literacy practices, allowing early childhood staff to support and build on what children already know.Once the educators are familiar with the children's diverse experiences with literacy, they then incorporate these experiences and associated resources into the program.

The building
Report
The building design is guided by its required functionality as a preschool, the desired experience of its future occupants, environmental sustainability, as well as its response to the site, bush surroundings, topography, the sun and the wind. The design intent is to create and nurture an appreciation of the natural environment by its transparency between the inside and outside, form and detail.
