Norwood Preschool 18 Notlen Street, Ringwood, Victoria 3134

Welcome to Norwood Preschool, a premier establishment located at 18 Notlen Street in Ringwood, Australia. As a point of interest and school, we are dedicated to providing children with enriching experiences that allow them to explore, imagine, play, and discover their world.

At Norwood Preschool, we offer high-quality 3 and 4-year-old Kindergarten programs to children in the Ringwood community. Our nurturing and qualified educators deliver these programs in a bright and welcoming playroom, as well as a spacious outdoor environment.

Our play-based programs are designed to encourage children to explore and experiment in a safe and educational setting. We believe that children are active learners who naturally possess curiosity and gain confidence through exploration. Therefore, our program focuses on each child's individual interests and strengths while ensuring they meet their developmental goals.

As a testament to our commitment to excellence, Norwood Preschool proudly displays the Kinder tick, signifying that our program is recognized as a funded kindergarten program. Additionally, we actively connect with our local community through regular incursions on topics such as responsible pet care, drama, science, dental care, cultural learning, dance, Australian indigenous learning, and sports.

We also emphasize exploring different cultures and traditions from around the world, offering a multicultural curriculum that teaches diversity and understanding. Through the use of Storypark, our educators can connect with families, sharing news, service updates, progress, and exciting moments from kinder to home.

Promoting healthy eating is a priority at Norwood Preschool, as we believe in teaching children about the importance of nutritious foods. Our children actively participate in our veggie patch and cooking activities that are incorporated into our program.

Safeguarding children and young people is of utmost importance to us, and we provide safe and fun environments for children to flourish. Our kindergarten's philosophy is guided by the National Quality Framework and forms the foundation of our teaching and approach to early learning. For more information, please request a copy of our Philosophy Statement.

With over 20 years of experience, the Y has been delivering Early Learning Programs and is passionate about creating safe, fun, and educational environments where children can thrive. We firmly believe that there is no better time to begin inspiring young minds than in an Early Learning program.
