Play is seen as a crucial medium for learning and development. It acknowledges the child as capable and resourceful and allows the educators to follow the national guidelines, regulations and standards detailed in the National Quality Framework.

Koninderie Preschool’s routine is flexible and accommodating to meet the children’s needs, special events and weather conditions.

Handwashing is embedded throughout our daily routine. Children are encouraged to wash their hands on arrival to the service, before and after meal times, after toileting and through transition time from the outdoor play environment.

Sunscreen is applied throughout the day when required.

We implement and embed the healthy eating key messages in the NSW Health Munch and Move program into our curriculum.

Highly processed foods high in fat, salt and sugar and low in essential nutrients are not suitable for preschool and should not be brought from home.

Drink bottles should only contain water. Milk, flavoured milk, juice, cordial and soft drinks are not suitable for preschool.
