We are thrilled to announce that Surrey Hills Pre-School Centre has been rated as Exceeding the National Quality Standards in all 7 Quality Areas under the National Quality Framework.
The National Quality Standard (NQS) sets a national benchmark for the quality of children’s education and care services across Australia. Services are then assessed against the NQS by the State or Territory regulatory authority and receive a rating for each of the seven quality areas of the NQS, as well as an overall rating.
An overall rating of Exceeding NQS is given to services that go above and beyond the requirements of the NQS in at least four of the seven quality areas. We achieved this in all 7 areas. Read more here.
The word “kindergarten” means “Children’s garden”. At Surrey Hills Pre-school Centre (SHPC) we have a Children’s garden to be proud of. Our indoor space takes full advantage with expansive windows views of this natural environment.
The children enjoy a wide variety of play spaces, lots of natural shade, new climbing equipment and a large wooden boat for lots of imaginative play. The children are always busy in the sandpit, digging patch or on the bike track.
SHPC is nestled amongst South Surrey Park, with trees surrounding and a creek meandering close by. We often have Kookaburras laughing while we play and ducks visiting our playground.
The program is planned around the individual needs of each child and the group as a whole. All children are encouraged to develop to their full potential.
The program provides open ended individual and group activities that encourage the children’s physical, social, intellectual, language and emotional development.
Kindergarten enrolments are managed by the Central Registration Scheme.
Registrations for kinder can be completed via www.boroondara.vic.gov.au/kindergarten
