Starting care
A preschool that knows your child
Three and four year olds are full of questions. The best preschool days give them room to follow those questions, test ideas and explain what they found out.
Because YoMy Sunshine is a small centre, preschool educators get to know each child’s interests, friendships and ways of learning. That lets them plan activities that stretch each child without rushing them.
It also means families have a real conversation at pick-up, not just a wave from the door.

Our preschool approach
How preschoolers learn with us
Play stays at the centre of the day. Educators build on it so it becomes learning that sticks.
Confidence and independence
Preschoolers take on small jobs, look after their things and make choices about their play.
Early literacy
Stories, rhymes, name games and early mark-making help children notice letters and sounds.
Early numeracy
Counting, sorting, measuring and building bring numbers and shapes into everyday play.
Problem solving
Children plan, test and adjust, whether they are building a tower or working out a game with friends.
Friendships and feelings
Educators help children share, negotiate and name their feelings as friendships grow.
Creative learning
Drawing, painting, music and pretend play give children many ways to show what they think.
