We would like to welcome you and your child to Burren Junction Pre School. This booklet has been designed to introduce you to our Pre School. Please read through this information when enrolling your child and keep it handy for future reference. We hope that you enjoy your time with us.
We aim to provide your child with an individual and group program that further develops growth in preparation for dealing with everyday life, school and later challenges.
We would like you as parents and carers to feel that your child is safe, valued and receiving everything that you would expect from a quality Early Childhood Service.
We are a non-profit organisation run by a voluntary committee of interested members to operate the Pre School. Burren Junction Pre School is open three days a week and provides fifteen places per day for children aged 3 to 5 years.
Burren Junction Pre School values itself on providing a quality early childhood educational and learning experience and service to the families and children of our district.
At Burren Junction Pre School, we believe that children learn best through play and that opportunity for this prior to school years provides for an invaluable life experience.
Eg; social play with friends, turn taking, sharing, verbalising and recognising feelings.
Eg; drawing, scissors, threading, eye/hand co-ordination.
Eg: balance, jumping, climbing, ball skills and co-ordination
Eg: using different materials in a creative and imaginative way.
We encourage children to talk eg; in front of a group of peers or adults, or friends. We try to identify speech problems and to build your child’s confidence.
Eg: sorting and simple counting.
Pre School is closed on all public holidays and school holidays.
