The learning experiences we provide are play-based which we believe encourages exploration, curiosity and creativity. According to The EYLF for Australia (2009) ‘play-based learning is a context for learning through which children organise and make sense of their social worlds, as they engage actively with people, objects and representations’. The EYLF is a guiding document used to support our educators in their assessment and planning of experiences for the children. The document encompasses Principles and Practices, which are based on contemporary theories and research highlighting how children’s learning occurs during the early childhood years, along with 5 Learning Outcomes which guide the program of learning. Children have a strong sense of identity Children are connected with and contribute to their world Children have a strong sense of wellbeing Children are confident and involved learners Children are effective communicators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/1581558610927-X590E3BMME7BNXB33QVU/IMG_0460.jpg Our Educational Program Our quality rating under the National Quality Standard (NQS). Our preschool is assessed as per the NQS, applicable to all early childhood education and care services Australia wide. As such, these standards guide many decisions and practices which occur in the preschool and underpin a continuous approach to quality improvement in the preschool. The 7 Quality Areas of the NQS are: Educational program and practice Children’s health and safety Physical environment Staffing arrangements Relationships with children Collaborative partnerships with families and communities Governance and leadership Our most recent assessment was undertaken in May 2021, where we received a rating of ‘Meeting National Quality Standard’ in all 7 quality areas. We were proud to have achieved an exceeding rating for specific areas such as within our Educational Program and Practice, and relationships with children. Many other elements are well on their way towards moving from Meeting to Exceeding, with a focus on our Quality Improvement Plan moving forward being our collaboration with families and the community. https://www.hopepointpreschool.org.au/enrolment daily 0.75 2025-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/1581558204308-PXT0Q47N5YJWE7H7S7GL/mud%2Bkitchen1.jpg Enrolment - Fees. Our preschool is funded by the NSW Department of Education through the Start Strong initiative. Funding is targeted to NSW community based preschools for children in the year before school (4 or 5 before 31 July each year), along with 3-5 year old equity children from low income families, with a diagnosed disability, or of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent. We congratulate the NSW Government for the reintroduction of funding for 3 year olds in 2019. Fees effective from 27 January 2025 are: Start Strong subsidised fees 4 & 5 year olds prior to 31Jul each year - $74 per day 3 year olds prior to 31Jul each year - $79 per day 3 to 5 year old equity (low income, Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander or disability) - $36 per day From January 2025, families also have the choice to receive a fee subsidy of $4,347 per annum from our preschool. Please note, this subsidy can only be received once at a preschool or long day care centre in NSW, and families declare which service their child will receive the money from if they are attending 2 or more services. As funding is paid directly from the NSW Department of Education to our preschool, families are unable to access the federal government Child Care Subsidy (CCS) package. https://www.hopepointpreschool.org.au/our-team daily 0.75 2025-08-21 https://www.hopepointpreschool.org.au/job-advertisement daily 0.75 2025-01-31 https://www.hopepointpreschool.org.au/waitlist daily 0.75 2025-07-31 https://www.hopepointpreschool.org.au/meet-our-team daily 0.75 2025-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/1638236756129-THXYHMHX5D44ABPXCFWV/IMG_6588.jpg Meet our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/1638237066818-2K6NLN5OHUZFGBORKNWM/IMG_6727.jpg Meet our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/833555d6-4968-4dfe-81e4-c6af15f72766/Marina.jpg Meet our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/839cbad6-0480-4d2e-ade3-664d1c2d88af/Kerrie.jpg Meet our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/03921cfd-6c74-4a65-ad02-94e2963ceaef/Screenshot+2023-12-08+at+5.13.25%E2%80%AFpm.png Meet our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/a3559ad7-d26e-4e15-9609-178cd6490026/Heather.png Meet our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/85206638-371b-4b5f-847c-8adc6037ec56/IMG_3395.jpeg Meet our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/458c9f1a-7fc1-41d0-8e6a-3388a5d14937/Elizabeth+headpic.jpg Meet our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/a991f218-cff3-4529-92ad-f82bd2f245b3/IMG_6605.jpg Meet our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/54fdeb55-431a-4953-8800-f62f1b316270/IMG_3396.jpeg Meet our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/a3fedbd5-34a1-4f83-a542-ab6add1ff115/IMG_3545.jpeg Meet our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/4782e63c-2d7d-497f-8d0a-824b1201cb32/IMG_3658.jpeg Meet our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/107cf4ed-2cf9-491b-8fee-0f6288db194c/IMG_2178.jpg Meet our team https://www.hopepointpreschool.org.au/wellbeing daily 0.75 2024-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/1720047574065-KAOU04DZ9NSQ4GZU7P2N/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/1720047509295-31SMB7OZA0U7YNEBPMIR/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/1720047457460-N7GWCOTZLZSPQJ8LUD2J/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/1720047541905-FY4B3190HYSF4FNZ7NEW/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/1720047864383-58QQS3TSEO0JQO1XQ2RO/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e23c0831324310e95e3ca07/1720047781094-9H3A9BU8XMQ3MN6QTCCX/image-asset.jpeg
