UnitingCare Burwood Preschool sits proudly on Wangal land and has been for the past 75 years. The preschool has a very strong sense of community and it’s common to have second and third generation families returning with their children and grandchildren to attend the preschool. The preschool is overseen by a Board of Management which consists of volunteer parent representatives, community and congregation members.
We aim for children to feel a sense of connection, community, belonging and being. We view children as capable, competent, co-contributors, and acknowledge them as active participants in their own learning. We endeavour to develop strong partnerships with families as we believe they have a powerful influence on children's learning and development, providing a wealth of knowledge about their children.
Our preschool is a place where play is used to encourage happiness, support exploration, scaffold ideas, be curious and promote engagement. We believe that our differences are what make us strong as a community and we value the different abilities, cultures, languages and identities of our community.
