Becoming Me

Kindergarten and preschool for three- and four-year-old children

A wonderful beginning to learning, discovery, and connection. 

Imagine your child starting their early years with a sense of wonder, confidence, and curiosity to explore the world. Becoming Me is the first step in our Flying Start to School program, designed for three- and four-year-olds. It nurtures each child’s independence, resilience, and the joy of learning—all while being part of a supportive group. This program is the perfect foundation for helping your child thrive now and, in the years, to come.

The start of something extraordinary.

The first year of our two-year preschool and kindergarten program offers a structured and thoughtful approach that prepares your child for a confident transition to school. Through Becoming Me, we focus on seven key areas to help your child grow: 

• Becoming Me – Building self-awareness, confidence, and independence. 
• Becoming a Good Friend – Nurturing social skills, empathy, and teamwork. 
• Becoming a Reader – Cultivating a love of stories, books, and early literacy. 
• Becoming a Writer – Encouraging self-expression through writing and drawing. 
• Becoming a Counter – Exploring numbers, patterns, and problem-solving. 
• Becoming a Mover – Developing physical skills, balance, and coordination. 
• Becoming a Great Thinker – Inspiring curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. 

This program isn’t just about preparing for school; it’s about laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. 

A place where learning comes to life.

Our teachers know how important these early years are. That’s why they create meaningful, engaging experiences that connect learning to the real world. We focus on helping your child discover their unique strengths, develop confidence, and feel excited about what they can achieve. 

Learning to think, imagine, and wonder 

We nurture creativity by using real-world objects and experiences to create meaningful learning opportunities. Through play and exploration, children develop their knowledge, confidence, and curiosity. Creative experiences include art, storytelling, and hands-on problem-solving, all tailored to your child’s unique interests and abilities.   

Exploring the world through play 

Play is at the heart of everything we do, helping children develop essential skills at their own pace. We balance playful discovery with structured learning to build language, literacy, and numeracy skills in a way that feels natural and fun.   

Outdoor adventures 

Outdoor play is central to our program, offering opportunities to develop balance, coordination, and motor skills. Collaborative activities build confidence and teamwork, while connecting with nature fosters a sense of responsibility for the environment.   

Sustainability 

From growing vegetables to learning about recycling, children explore what it means to be part of a community and to care for their world. These hands-on experiences develop problem-solving skills, independence, and a sense of responsibility.   

Cooking and everyday skills 

Cooking teaches numeracy through counting, measuring, and weighing ingredients while helping children develop independence and confidence. These everyday skills connect learning to the real world, making it both practical and meaningful.
