About Us

South West Rocks Preschool is a community-based early learning centre for children aged 3 to 6 years. We provide a welcoming space where children can learn, play, and grow in a supportive, play-based environment.

Our program is guided by university-qualified educators, supported by a team of experienced early childhood professionals who work closely together to support each child’s development.

Our purpose-built centre offers spacious indoor and outdoor environments where children are encouraged to explore, connect, and build confidence.

We warmly welcome families to visit us, meet our team, and experience our preschool community. Please feel free to get in touch or arrange a time to come and see us.

Our Values

At South West Rocks Preschool, our values are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and centre around three key ideas - Love, Live and Learn.

We believe that every child is capable, curious and brings their own knowledge and experiences into our preschool. Our educators work closely with families to build strong relationships and create meaningful learning experiences together.

LOVE

LIVE

Our educators are committed to providing meaningful learning experiences that foster independence, confidence and a love of learning. Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, we create welcoming, engaging and responsive environments that support every child's individual needs.

As part of our community, we encourage children to develop a sense of responsibility for the world around them, fostering respect for others, for the environment and for the wider community.
