Possums Room
4 - 5 year olds (pre-schoolers)
In this room there is a focus on school readiness skills (pre-reading, pre-number, pre-writing) and language skills (listening, questioning, interpreting, inferring, and concentration). Social skills (sharing, courtesy, group participation) and personal skills (self-esteem, confidence, perseverance, independence, self-help skills) are also actively promoted. We follow the Jolly Phonics Program, introducing a single phonic every week which assists with school preparation and pre literacy skills.

Clara Certificate III Educator
I like researching and following up on children’s interests, curiosities and their endless amazing questions. They make me a more knowledgeable and well informed person - we share information and grow and learn together.

I love inspiring the children to be environmentally responsible and seeing them play an active role in caring for our world. I love seeing them connect with nature around them.

MADI DIPLOMA EDUCATOR
I love taking the time to find out what makes each child unique and listening to them talk about their interests and family. The environment is my passion and I love engaging the children through country and our environment. My favourite time of day is first thing in the morning, welcoming all the happy faces and knowing we are all going to have a wonderful day.

REBECCA Early Childhood Teacher
It is such a joy arriving to work and being welcomed by lots of happy, smiling faces that are excited to see you! I enjoy spending quality time with each child and learning about their experiences, interests and families. With a background in acting for children's theatre, I have a real passion for inspiring children through dramatic play. I believe in the power of the performing arts to spark imagination, build confidence and foster socio-emotional skills. I love creating safe spaces in which children can express themselves, grow and discover the joy of storytelling and imaginative play - especially when I'm invited to join in!
