What can families expect?
Through play-based, intentional teaching strategies, we support children’s emotional, social, physical, and intellectual development
Our educators use Guided Play to actively support your child’s learning within playful activities, offering just the right amount of help to reach a goal. For deeper exploration, we have Inquiry Play, where children’s natural curiosity leads them to investigate questions and solve problems. Sometimes, we work together with children to plan the learning, which we call Collaboratively Designed Play, always ensuring they have a voice.
When specific skill is needed, such as art or music technique or, Prep children exploring numeracy and literacy, we use directed Playful Learning to make it fun and engaging, wrapping the learning in a game or a playful activity. Implementing play for individual children at the right time requires skilled Early Childhood Teachers and Educators.
These different types of play ensure that your child is always learning in a way that is meaningful and enjoyable.
Our Prep Program encourages curiosity, problem-solving and resilience, while also supporting children’s physical development through fine and gross motor activities. Children will leave Astelier ready not only for school but for life—curious, confident, and equipped with a strong sense of self.
With a focus on familiarising children with routines, expectations and group experiences similar to those found in school, the Prep Room helps each child approach Kindergarten with confidence, enthusiasm and a strong foundation for future learning.
