Emerald Preschool

At Emerald Preschool, we have a fantastic team of educators who run fun, play-based programs for 3- and 4-year-olds. It is a safe and exciting place where children can play, learn, and be creative, with plenty of time to have fun, make things, explore, and grow.

At Emerald, the environment is important. Each room is colourful and reflects the changing program and interests of the children. Our leafy outdoor spaces are set up for the most fun you can get out of a day. We help children to be kind to themselves, others, and nature. Our highest priority is safety and a quality early education.

Our Service

We are a 59-place sessional kindergarten offering funded:

• Sessional 3-year-old kindergarten; and
• Sessional 4-year-old kindergarten.

Our kindergarten terms align with Victorian school terms.

Our Approach

One Tree’s educational program aligns with the Victorian Early Years Learning and the National Framework.  We are inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophical belief, that educators are co-learners who collaborate with children.

We’re displaying the Kinder Tick to show we’re an approved provider of a Victorian Government funded and approved kindergarten program. That means our service delivers a play-based learning program, led by a qualified early childhood teacher.

The Kinder Tick shows we meet the criteria in the funding guidelines set out by the Victorian Government — which means you can have confidence your child’s learning and development will be supported by qualified early childhood teachers and educators through a responsive, evidence-based learning program.
