Medowie Community Preschool is a nurturing place where children learn, play, and grow together.
Welcome to Medowie Community Preschool. A place where new beginnings and a lifelong love of learning start. Established in 1984, Medowie Community Preschool began at the local community hall.
We believe that the early years are a time for nurturing curiosity, fostering creativity, and building the foundations for lifelong learning. Our community preschool offers a warm, safe, and supportive environment where children aged 3 to 5 can explore, discover, and grow at their own pace.
At Medowie Community Preschool, we celebrate the unique potential of every child.
We are dedicated to nurturing resilience and independent thinking, helping them grow into confident members of our community.
Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed by experienced educators, inspired by global best practices, and aligned with Australia’s National Quality Framework and the Early Years Learning Framework.
We believe that building strong, nurturing relationships with children fosters a foundation of trust, emotional security, and love of learning.
We recognise that strong partnerships with families are essential in creating a supportive, collaborative environment that enhances a child’s development and wellbeing in preschool.
We believe that fostering meaningful connections with our community enriches the learning experiences, providing children with diverse Opportunities, resources, and a sense of belonging beyond the classroom.
We acknowledge and strive to foster respectful relationships with the Worimi people, the traditional custodians of the land and country in our region.
We believe that positive, collaborative relationships between educators creates a supportive and unified team, enhancing the quality of care and learning for every child in our preschool.
We believe that play-based learning is essential for fostering creativity, problem solving skills, and social development, allowing children to explore, experiment, and make meaningful connections in an engaging environment.
We honour children’s voices and value their contributions, viewing them as competent and capable drivers of their learning and development. We are dedicated to fostering positive dispositions towards learning by nurturing curiosity, resilience, and a growth mindset, helping children develop a love for exploration and a confident approach to new challenges.
We seek to foster an ecological conscience in all children by embedding sustainable practices that they contribute to, assisting them to become global citizens.
Educators pride themselves on being Early Childhood Professionals who are active researchers. They understand the importance of critically reflecting on their practice, attitudes and current theoretical research, as well as incorporating the principles, practices and learning outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the Nationala Quality Framework (NQF) into the daily program and their practices.
We are committed to supporting families in their journey of growth and learning about their children, providing resources, guidance, and a collaborative partnership to empower them in nurturing their child’s development.

Our Testimonials
My youngest went there and they were amazing with him. He was extremely standoffish and super clingy to the carers and cried for me and they were just so amazing and patient with him. They also understood his speech issues and aided him. He truly flourished during his time there.

I’ll tell anyone who will listen. Medowie Community Preschool is the best thing since sliced bread. We had tried many types of care, that preschool is the best, hands down. It’s nice to be able to drop your kids off to carers who wholeheartedly love their jobs.
B. Daly
Can’t recommend Medowie Community Preschool highly enough. Both my kids went there and loved it. The educators are amazing!

They have been absolutely wonderful for my family. My eldest finished last year, have one child there at the moment and planning on sending the third in a couple of years. Educators are amazing! Engaged, enthusiastic, creative, compassionate, happy, ‘on the ball’. My son begs and pleads to go on his ‘off’ days. I am thrilled with the service that they offer.
