Koo Wee Rup Preschool

Welcome to Koo Wee Rup Preschool, located on Rossiter Road in the heart of Australia's beautiful Koo Wee Rup. As an established institution with nearly seventy years of history, we pride ourselves on providing a welcoming and enriching early learning environment for children and families.

At Koo Wee Rup Preschool, we offer engaging and stimulating Kindergarten programs for both 3 and 4-year-olds. Our programs are designed to foster curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning in every child. We believe in the importance of encouraging children to express themselves creatively through various mediums, including open-ended and natural materials.

One of our core values is caring for and respecting the natural environment. Our curriculum incorporates teachings on reusing, recycling, and water conservation, which we actively promote and model in our daily activities. We also celebrate multiculturalism and include a variety of cultural events throughout the year to embrace and appreciate the rich diversity of our community.

Excursions play a key role in our curriculum, allowing children to explore the world around them and feel connected to their local community. We also prioritize sun safety and are proud participants in the SunSmart program, ensuring the well-being of our staff and children.

We have established strong partnerships with Koo Wee Rup Primary School and St John the Baptist Primary School, providing opportunities for our children to interact with older students and broaden their social experiences.

As a preschool deeply rooted in the community, we acknowledge the cultural heritage and the contributions of early settlers and migrants to the local agricultural community. Our name, "Koo Wee Rup," comes from the aboriginal word meaning "Blackfish Swimming," and we honor the traditional owners of the land.

At Koo Wee Rup Preschool, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging. We value the diverse needs of our families and community and aim to embed aspects of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures into our practices.

We believe that all children have the right to education and deserve respect and support. Our dedicated educators work alongside children and families to foster independence, self-help skills, and confidence. Through play and intentional teaching practices, we provide a nurturing environment for children to explore, learn, and grow.

We prioritize building strong relationships with children, families, co-workers, and the broader community. Our educators are professional, adaptable, and passionate, setting high expectations while remaining practical and responsive to the needs of each child and their family.

Join us at Koo Wee Rup Preschool, where every child is important, capable, and valued. We are committed to setting them up for a lifetime of learning, resilience, and success.
