East Maitland Preschool : Brunswick Street

East Maitland Preschool - Brunswick Street

Welcome to our Brunswick Street Preschool, we have provided an inclusive, responsive preschool program at 96 Brunswick Street since 1976. We provide early education and care to 40 children each day during school terms in a warm, welcoming environment. Our beautiful spacious classrooms and outdoor areas provide a rich environment for exploration and growth. We place an emphasis on the importance of relationships and encourage family participation in our program.

Our Location

Brunswick Street Preschool was purpose built in 1976 to meet the needs of the community. We enrol 40 children per day. Our beautiful classrooms are welcoming and warm, with polished wooden floors, and quality, homelike furnishings. Our natural outdoor environment has beautiful native trees, a rocky creek with water pump, room for running and playing, a hardwood climbing structure to explore, a sandpit for digging, and inviting spaces for play and learning. Our location is handy to the local library, park and shops for us to explore as we become confident enough to venture out into our community. We also have our own minibus for small groups to explore further.

Our Daily Routine

Throughout the day there is a mix of opportunities for indoor and outdoor play, free play and more structured group experiences.
Children are supported during play to build upon existing skills and knowledge, and opportunities are taken to learn new ones. Small group experiences are offered through the day so children gain the skills to be a productive member of a group and to gain a greater understanding of ideas.
Whilst there is no formal 'sleep time' at preschool children are also given opportunities to rest and replenish their bodies.

Our Educators

Each day we have at least 2 fully qualified Early Childhood Teachers along with qualified Educators to guide the children throughout the day, using opportunities for intentional teaching to actively promote children's learning. They also get to know each child as an individual, adapting the daily program to suit their needs and interests. We offer higher staffing ratios to ensure a responsive and inclusive program. Our Educators continually seek ways to build upon professional knowledge and improve practices through reflecting on our program and practices, as well as participating in professional development.
