East Beaumaris Preschool

Welcome to East Beaumaris Preschool, located at 60 Wells Road in Beaumaris, Australia. Established in 1967, our preschool has a long-standing tradition of providing a fun and nurturing environment for children to begin their educational journey.

Situated adjacent to Illaroo Reserve, our preschool offers a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. Our 3 and 4-year-old programs focus on play-based learning, ensuring that children are socially and emotionally prepared for school. Our dedicated and experienced teachers create meaningful experiences to support each child's development.

At East Beaumaris Preschool, we believe in the power of education. Our passionate team of early childhood educators brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and cultural diversity to the classroom. We value the importance of learning, belonging, and well-being, and work in partnership with families to foster these values in our students.

We see our preschool as an extension of the family and a place for families to become part of the local community. Family involvement is encouraged, and many lifelong friendships have been formed at East Beaumaris Preschool.

Our preschool boasts a large outdoor space, where children can explore and play under the shade of a magnificent river red gum tree. This tree, estimated to be over 300 years old, holds great significance to the area and to First Nations people. It serves as a central part of our outdoor space, connecting us to the land and providing a unique learning environment.

Adjacent to our preschool, Illaroo Reserve offers a playground that serves as a natural extension of our program. This is where children can make new friendships and practice the skills they've learned in preschool, bridging the gap between our preschool and the wider community.

To accommodate families with varying schedules and commitments, our timetable features morning sessions with a day off in between. We also offer drop-off and pick-up times that suit families with school-age siblings. This allows us to provide the wonderful model of community kindergarten to a diverse range of families.

Play is a powerful tool for learning and development, and we embrace this philosophy at East Beaumaris Preschool. Our educators create engaging and open-ended play experiences that reflect each child's interests, age, knowledge, strengths, abilities, and culture.

We are proud to announce that East Beaumaris Preschool has been rated 'Exceeding' under the National Quality Standard set by the Australian Children's Education & Care Quality Authority. Our dedicated educators continually strive for excellence, and our entire community takes great pride in this achievement.

We invite you to book a tour and meet our educators to experience the warm and welcoming community at East Beaumaris Preschool. We acknowledge and give thanks to the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation for sharing the land where we meet, play, learn, and grow.
