Boongaiai Preschool

At Boongaiai Preschool our aim is to foster a love of learning and develop a sense of wonder and reverence for life in each child. Our philosophy is based on the work of Rudolf Steiner who emphasised the importance of educating the whole child, including intellectual, physical, artistic, social, and emotional wellbeing. Boongaiai provides a home-like environment where children feel safe and supported to explore our play-based and child-initiated learning. We support the developing senses of each individual through meaningful activities and natural playthings to encourage creative and social play, while enriching the child’s inner life with stories, songs, and artistic experiences.

Preschool is a welcoming and engaging space that offers children a rich tapestry of oral language experiences. With verse, song, rhymes, and stories, our experienced teachers awaken the children’s sense of wonder and ignite their imagination, creating a warm and nurturing environment that provides a solid foundation for future literacy learning. In addition, we foster a deep love of learning for curriculum areas such as maths and science by providing authentic and practical experiences that arise naturally through play and exploration of the natural world.
