Unlocking Potential Through Early Education

At Newstead Christian School, our Pre-Kinder program is designed to ignite a love for learning and lay a strong foundation for future academic success. Our dedicated teachers provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can explore, discover, and grow.

Nurturing Spiritual Growth Through Christian Education

Our Pre-Kinder program focuses on fostering curiosity, creativity, and social development. Through hands-on activities and engaging lessons, children build a strong foundation for future learning.

Building Strong Foundations for Lifelong Learning

We prioritise the holistic development of each child, nurturing their spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical growth. Our Christian values underpin everything we do, creating a caring and inclusive community.

Fostering Curiosity and Creativity in Every Child

With a focus on safety and well-being, our Pre-Kinder provides a secure and supportive environment where children can thrive. We foster positive relationships and encourage independence and resilience.

Discover the Engaging Pre-Kinder Curriculum at Newstead Christian School

The sessions are run by our Kindergarten teacher. Parents/guardians accompany their child throughout the session engaging with them in the various activities set up around the room. A time will be provided towards the end of each session for them to sit and chat with their newfound friends whilst they enjoy their morning tea.

Structure

Pre-Kinder sessions provide a great opportunity to familiarise the children with Kindergarten.

Approach

Holistic education that integrates Christian values, character development, and academic foundations.
