Benefits of our Kindergarten & Preschool Program at Grow Early Education

June 13, 2025

Choosing the right Kindergarten or Preschool Program for your child is an important decision, especially when balancing work; family life; and preparing your child for formalised schooling; all need to be considered. That’s why our Kindergarten and Preschool Programs are thoughtfully designed and led by Bachelor degree-qualified Teachers, to deliver educational excellence and a school readiness program - all with the convenience of long day care hours.

Led by university-qualified Early Childhood Teachers and guided by the approved Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), our programs provide children with strong foundations for school and lifelong learning, all within a nurturing early education environment.

Why Choose Grow Early Education's Kindergarten or Preschool Program?

At Grow Early Education, our Kindergarten and Preschool Programs are designed to support busy families while still delivering a high-quality, government-approved early learning curriculum.

Here’s how Grow Early Education's Kindergarten or Preschool Program can be the perfect fit for your family:

  • Long hours for working families: Enjoy extended care from early mornings to late afternoon, perfect for working parents or those with full schedules.

 

  • 'Free' kindergarten or fee relief for Preschool for eligible children: Take advantage of Government funding, which means eligible children can attend 'Free' Kindergarten in Victoria and Queensland or receive fee relief for our Preschool Programs in New South Wales.

  • Approved curriculum and added flexibility: Our program meets all of the educational requirements in a flexible, long day care environment. That means:
    ✅ flexibility for the number of hours and days you want your child to attend
    ✅ All-inclusive daily fees (meals, nappies, excursions, extra-curriculars, and access to our family communication app all in one fee)
    ✅ Year-round care, including school holidays

 

  • A focus on key learning goals: We have been in consultation with local schools and they have guided us on the learning goals for children, that will assist them in their transition to formal school:
    - Toileting – I can use the toilet and wash my hands by myself.
    - Independence – I can open up my lunch box and fill up my own water bottle. I can dress and undress myself such as putting on my own shoes and hat.
    - Emotional Skills – I can communicate my wants and needs.
    - Name Writing & Recognition – I can recognise my name and attempt to write it.
    - Cognitive Abilities – I can retell a story or event. I can solve problems on my own.
    - Literacy & Numeracy Skills – I can recognise some letters and sounds. I can recognise some numbers. I can recognise some shapes.
    -‍‍ Social Skills Awareness – I can take turns with others. I can wait in line and follow instructions. I can ask and answer questions to take part in conversations.
    - Fine Motor Skills – I can hold a pencil and crayon. I can cut and use scissors safely.
    - Whole Body Listening – I can sit on the mat to participate in group time with my friends and teacher. I can actively take part in group learning.

 

  • Formal discussions and transition statements: A formal discussion between parents and the teacher is held at the end of the year to support each child’s transition to school by collaboratively creating a transition statement. This strengths-based statement provides a snapshot of the child’s knowledge, skills, and dispositions across the five learning and development areas.

 

  • School readiness initiatives to ease nerves: To help your child feel confident and excited about formalised school structures, we introduce regular school readiness initiatives. These could include fun and practical activities such as:
    - Lunchbox days where children practice opening their own containers and eating from a packed lunch
    - Uniform days where children wear their school uniforms, helping them prepare for daily routines and independence
    - Visits to local schools across the year as part of your child’s transition to school process
    - School-like routines such as sitting in group time, following simple instructions, and increasing independence with toileting and self-care
  • Education-Focused: Children learn through play and structured learning activities in line with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), led by qualified Early Childhood Teachers.

 

  • Reduced transition stress: If your little one already attends one of our centres, our Kindergarten and Preschool Programs are delivered within the same nurturing environment your child already knows and loves. With consistent Educators, familiar routines, and strong peer relationships, children experience a smooth and secure learning journey. This continuity supports emotional well-being, builds confidence, and allows your child to fully engage in their day, without the added stress of adapting to multiple environments.
