Shining Stars/Preschool 3 - 4 yrs

Our Shining Stars rooms use the whole middle floor made of 3 free flow rooms for maximum exploration and help promote freedom of choice.


We encourage a daily routine to provide the children with stability and aid development, however we do understand it is important to offer a flexible approach to allow children to develop their own personal interests and preferences.
