Learn, play & grow with us

We believe every child is a capable, competent learner who thrives in an environment that honours belonging, being, and becoming. Guided by the Intereach values of leadership, partnerships and social justice, we create a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space where children feel valued, supported, and empowered.

Play is the foundation of learning. Through play, children explore, experiment, and make sense of their world, developing social, emotional, physical, and cognitive skills in meaningful and joyful ways. We view children as active contributors to their learning, nurturing curiosity, creativity, problem‑solving, and critical thinking.

Families are essential partners in this journey. Together, we celebrate each child’s unique strengths, interests, and identity. Strong, respectful relationships between children, families, educators, and the wider community form the heart of wellbeing and lifelong learning, reflecting our commitment to genuine connection and integrity.

We embrace and celebrate diversity, ensuring all cultures, identities, and ways of being are acknowledged, respected, and included. Equity guides our practice, ensuring every child has access to opportunities that support their growth and success.

We foster a deep appreciation for the natural world and embed sustainable practices into everyday routines, encouraging children to become thoughtful, responsible caretakers of their environment.

At Intereach Community Preschool, we believe every child is a capable, competent learner who grows best when they feel safe, valued and connected. Our program is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, with a strong focus on belonging, being and becoming.

Children are supported to:

• Develop confidence and independence

• Build positive relationships with peers and adults

• Strengthen communication and early literacy skills

• Explore, question and problem-solve through play

Learning is responsive to children’s interests and strengths, supporting them to actively participate in their learning and feel confident in their ability to contribute to their world.

Intereach is committed to improving the mental health and physical wellbeing of children, young people, families, and staff, to ensure every member of our community feels a sense of belonging and connectedness. Intereach is committed to reducing stigma about mental health and promote inclusion, healthy relationships, and resilience.

We believe in creating a supportive, respectful, and equal relationship between team members where all skills, knowledge and ongoing professional development are supported and valued.

Play is the foundation of learning at Intereach Community Preschool.

Through play-based experiences, children explore ideas, practise skills and make sense of the world around them. Our learning environments are thoughtfully designed to encourage creativity, collaboration, movement and curiosity — supporting children’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive development in meaningful ways.

Families are central to everything we do.

We value strong, respectful partnerships with families and recognise the important role they play in each child’s learning and wellbeing. By working together, we create continuity between home, preschool and the wider community.

As part of Intereach, our preschool is deeply connected to local services, supports and community networks. These connections help children develop a strong sense of belonging and understanding of their place within their community — a key outcome of a true community preschool.
