North Ringwood Preschool 70 Lockhart Road, Ringwood North, Victoria 3134

Welcome to North Ringwood Preschool! Located in the residential area of North Ringwood, our preschool is nestled next to a beautiful council park, providing a picturesque and serene environment for our little learners.

We take great pride in our well-resourced center and state-of-the-art facilities. North Ringwood Preschool is not just a place for education, but a space for children to learn, grow, develop, and simply be themselves. With both indoor and outdoor programs, we believe in supporting children to learn through play at their own pace, in a safe and fun environment.

Respecting the environment and the way children learn, we strive to connect our students with their local community. We encourage creative thinking and problem-solving skills, fostering an environment where children can take safe risks. Many of these values resonate with our bush kinder program, which provides an extension to our indoor-outdoor curriculum. Through this program, children have the opportunity to play at a deeper level, develop a sense of belonging, and experience the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive benefits of nature.

Our dedicated educators work tirelessly to ensure that every child feels respected, confident, and valued within our close-knit community. North Ringwood Preschool proudly displays the Kinder Tick, symbolizing our recognition as a funded kindergarten program. We also offer a variety of excursions and incursions to enhance learning and development, allowing children to explore and discover different spaces outside of the center.

With our specially designed outdoor and indoor play spaces, there is plenty of room for children to move and explore. Our rich learning environment supports various aspects of development, including social, emotional, cognitive, physical, technological, and creative learning.

At North Ringwood Preschool, we prioritize the safety and well-being of children. We are committed to creating safe and fun environments where children can flourish and thrive. Our teaching and approach to early learning are guided by our kindergarten's philosophy, which is informed by the National Quality Framework. This philosophy underpins all our operations and daily practices.

As part of the Y, an organization with over 20 years of experience in delivering Early Learning Programs, we are passionate about creating educational environments where children can thrive. We believe in the power of inspired young people, and there is no better time to begin inspiring than in an Early Learning program.
