At our centre childhood is celebrated. When they play and explore, children's imagination and curiosity is sparked – they enjoy learning, and are inspired to continue learning more.

At KU Briar Cottage, our play-based program offers children the opportunity to engage in a wide variety of learning experiences and activities that are specifically designed to promote their confidence as capable and active participants in their own learning. These experiences include gardening, cooking, creative art, literacy, numeracy, playdough, science experiments, music, block building and sand and water play.

Learning programs are developed for each child, based upon their individual strengths, needs and interests. Digital portfolios of children’s work are kept by our educators, offering parents a window into their child’s experiences at our preschool.

Aesthetic learning spaces are created by our team of educators, to create stimulating and sensory learning opportunities. These spaces encourage children to develop curiosity, take new challenges, consolidate emerging skills, persist and learn to engage and work with other children and adults.

We aim to establish immediate rapport and a sense of belonging in our community, as families arrive through the front door.

We greatly value the strong relationships between our staff, children and families, and we look forward to the opportunity of including your family in the life of our centre.
