Explore

It’s a place where children and educators learn alongside one another – sharing ideas, building connections, and growing through meaningful, play-based experiences We value and nurture children’s learning through play, recognising it as the foundation for building knowledge and understanding. Through a rich mix of activities, experiences, and open-ended materials, children are invited to explore, investigate, and discover in hands-on ways – growing in confidence and flourishing at their own pace.

Learn

We follow the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, alongside the Australian National Quality Framework’s guiding principles of Being, Belonging and Becoming. Through this, we are committed to delivering high-quality early childhood education, rich in meaningful experiences that support positive outcomes for every child in our preschool community.

Together

At Ballam Park Preschool, we’re deeply committed to creating a nurturing, inclusive environment where every child feels safe, secure, and supported. We celebrate and welcome all families, embracing the rich diversity of our community. We actively support and include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, LGBTQIA+ families, and families experiencing hardship. Together, we partner with families to nurture, care for, and support each child’s learning and development.
