Strong communication and curriculum shine at Wayburne Preschool

November 29, 2023 Inspired Early Education

Congratulations to Wayburne Preschool on their Exceeding rating!

The Preschool, located in Glen Waverley, is one of Y Kinders’ latest services to excel in their Assessment and Ratings.

Wayburne Preschool’s strong pedagogical foundations and clear links back to the latest research in early childhood education contributed to their rating. These aspects are evident in their program planning which consistently illustrates how they support diverse learning styles.

The Assessors were also impressed by the Preschool’s regular communication with families. The team not only shares their activities frequently via the families’ online platform, but they include links to the relevant studies which underpin their curriculum. This assists families to gain an understanding of how the program is supporting their child’s learning and development.

“I am extremely proud of our team of experienced and dedicated educators who work together with mutual respect and a shared passion for providing the best opportunities to enhance the play, learning and wellbeing for all children who attend our kindergarten,” shared Sarah Griffiths, Teacher at the Preschool.

“Receiving an Exceeding rating which acknowledges this passion and the work that we undertake every day, was wonderful!”
