Highmount Preschool offers both three and four year old kindergarten programs, delivered by qualified, experienced, and caring Educators in a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment.
Our educational programs incorporate the National Early Years Learning Framework: Being, Belonging and Becoming, with a strong emphasis on inclusive, play based strategies. Children at Highmount Preschool enjoy both indoor and outdoor play elements, with purpose built spaces and structure to promote socialisation, imaginative play and physical activity. We believe that children excel when they play, learn and grow together.
We look forward to welcoming your family to our community!
