Parkside Preschool 524 Elgar Road, Box Hill North, Victoria 3129

Welcome to Parkside Preschool, located in Box Hill North, Australia. Our institution has been serving the community for over 60 years, providing a nurturing and educational environment for children to play, discover, and grow.

Situated on a large block overlooking Hagenauer Reserve, our preschool offers 3 and 4-year-old Kindergarten programs. Here, children have the opportunity to explore and experience a wide range of activities, both new and familiar. We believe in empowering children to take responsibility for their own learning and develop self-motivation.

At Parkside Preschool, we prioritize creating a safe, caring, and fun environment for our students. Our dedicated staff members are committed to supporting your child's social and personal development, while fostering a lifelong love of learning.

We are proud to display the Kinder Tick, which signifies that our program is recognized as a funded kindergarten program. This provides families with confidence in the quality of education we offer.

Environmental sustainability is an important aspect of our curriculum. We encourage children to play, observe, interact, and respect the natural environment. Through various activities, we teach and model reusing and recycling practices.

Excursions are an integral part of our program, as they allow children to explore and learn about different spaces outside of their immediate world. We organize a variety of excursions and incursions to enhance their learning and development.

Celebrating diversity is another key aspect of our curriculum. We provide a multicultural program that includes celebrating various cultural events throughout the year. We encourage families to share their values, skills, and traditions to enrich the children's learning experience.

To keep families connected and informed, we utilize Storypark, an online platform that allows educators and families to share news, updates, and exciting moments from kindergarten to home.

Safeguarding children is a top priority for us. We are committed to providing safe and fun environments where children can flourish under the guidance of our dedicated staff.

Our teaching philosophy is informed by the National Quality Framework and guides all our operations and daily practices. We believe in the power of inspired young people and strive to create safe, fun, and educational environments where children can thrive.
