Philosophy

Fernhill Road Preschool and Long Day care aims to provide a consistent environment that is secure, warm and caring and is therefore designed to complement the child's home environment and provide optimum care and opportunity for development.

Educational activities are provided for your children to stimulate their imagination, creativity, decision -making and the development of language and expression. Our program enhances development of physical, cognitive, social and life skills with emphasis placed on each child as an individual and the nurturing do positive self-esteem in order for each child to reach their full potential.

We use a positive approach to guidance, consistently adhering to a positive guidance policy that encourages correct behaviour through positive reinforcement. Guidance must always encourage the individuality and confidence of children and never lower their self-esteem.

Staff and parents form a team, supporting each other in the care and development of the child. Mutual respect and open communication are essential to ensure enhanced outcomes for each child.
