Written by Gowrie Marketing | Oct 15, 2024 10:30:00 PM

The right preschool program or curriculum can significantly impact your child’s development and learning journey. At Gowrie NSW, we've dedicated more than 80 years to creating nurturing environments and quality educational programs. We believe preschool should be an enriching, play-based experience that sets the foundation for lifelong learning.


Exploring the Key Components of a Preschool Curriculum

Literacy Development

Literacy is a cornerstone of any preschool curriculum. Beyond learning to read, it focuses on nurturing language skills, comprehension, and a love for storytelling. At Gowrie NSW, our programs encourage children to explore books, engage in storytelling, and participate in conversations. These activities build vocabulary and instil a love for reading that can last a lifetime.

Numeracy Skills

Numeracy is about more than recognising numbers and counting. It involves understanding patterns, shapes, and basic mathematical concepts. Our programs incorporate activities that make learning maths fun and interactive. Children begin to grasp these essential skills early on through puzzles, games, and creative play.

Creative Play

Creative play is crucial for cognitive and emotional development. It allows children to express themselves, solve problems, and develop social skills. Our innovative spaces provide various materials and opportunities for children to explore their creativity. From arts and crafts to role-playing scenarios, these activities help children learn about themselves and the world around them.

Social and Emotional Development

Social and emotional skills are fundamental to a child's overall growth. At Gowrie NSW, we emphasise building self-awareness, empathy, and effective communication through group activities and individual reflections. Our programs support children in understanding their emotions, forming positive relationships, and navigating social interactions with confidence.

Exploration and Inquiry

Nurturing curiosity and discovery is fundamental to our approach at Gowrie NSW. We turn everyday moments into exciting adventures, encouraging children to dive into hands-on experiments, explore nature, and engage in interactive lessons. Our dynamic preschool curriculum inspires your child to follow their interests, ask questions, and uncover curiosities with enthusiasm and wonder.
