LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Warilla Baptist Preschool has a beautiful indoor and outdoor learning environment which have been specifically created to engage the children, inspire wonder, and encourage creativity and exploration.
We love the outdoors at preschool and consider the environment to be a second teacher. We provide resources to encourage the children in discovery, creativity, nature, team work, and messy play.
We consider outdoor play essential to early childhood development, and have one teacher dedicated to programming, development of resources and improving our outdoor space. Melanie our outdoor teacher organises our outdoor program and ensures it is full of discovery, exploration, learning and fun experiences for the children. In summer we have a focus on growing summer fruits, sustainable water play, arts and crafts and enjoying the wonder of nature. In winter, we plant our vegetables, use bikes and other gross motor resources and enjoy the play spaces on the deck.
The indoors are valuable for play at preschool too. The children spend the middle of the day inside and have a large space for play and exploration. With two room, each having, craft, building, fine motor, stem, imaginative play, language and literacy, cognitive games and more, the children have a wide variety to enjoy.
