Essington’s Kinder, Preschool and Pre-Transition programs develop a love of learning in every new learner.

The Essington School provides a myriad of enriching opportunities for children in our Early Years programs, catering for children from 2 to 5 years old.

Modern Montessori emphasises a play-based approach to learning. Through play and active participation your child will develop interests and construct their own identities and understanding of the world.

This play-based learning approach allows the development of:

• Identity
• Connections
• Wellbeing
• Confidence
• Effective communication

The learning focus is on building the whole child; their confidence, self-esteem, social and emotional wellbeing, not just on academics.

Essington is committed to leading practice in early childhood education, we actively engage in national programs that enrich our preschool community and provide a broad range of experiences for your young learner.
