About Miles Franklin Preschool

The preschool curriculum provides opportunities for planned and spontaneous learning experiences.

We provide programs that foster children’s curiosity, creativity, cognitive abilities and problem solving skills. These plans take into consideration their current interests, stage of development and life experiences.

We value the involvement of the children, their families and staff from our local and wider community, in the journey towards life long learning.
