The combined three and four-year-old funded kindergarten programs operate across two days offering 15 hours of kindergarten per child per week during the Victorian school terms. The service is located within the school grounds of Lake Boga Primary School, who is also the approved provider, and is situated approximately 17 kilometres away from Swan Hill township. The building has one children’s room with direct access to outdoor spaces.

Philosophy Statement

Lake Boga Preschool strongly believes in facilitated early years learning through play.  We are passionate and committed to the overall well-being of each child at our Service.  Using current educational frameworks, we will ensure all children develop creative techniques for thinking, communicating, learning and living life. We acknowledge family as a child’s biggest influence and endeavour to respect, value and include all aspects of family at our service.

We believe in intentional teaching that involves the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF), in order to prepare children in moving forward through preschool, and transitioning to school when they are truly ready.

Lake Boga Preschool is committed to providing a safe, healthy and nurturing learning environment which is both stimulating and enjoyable for all children, staff and volunteers attending the service.  We will ensure all children’s rights are upheld, with an emphasis on an inclusive and respectful environment that creates awareness of cultural diversity. 

Lake Boga Preschool is committed to equal access for all children, regardless of circumstances.  We will ensure all children’s programs support individual and group learning, ensuring successful outcomes and security to participate confidently in new experiences.  We are committed to encouraging children to express themselves, their opinions and to participate in experiences that develop self- esteem and resilience.

We believe strongly that all children are listened to and observed so as learning experiences provided reflect their personal interests. We will ensure that all children are free to explore their creativity, free to wonder and question their environment and wider community in which they live.

Lake Boga Preschool aims to encourage all parents to participate in and take pride in their preschool. We seek to build collaborative relationships with families to improve learning and developmental outcomes for all children, preparing them for many of life’s experiences.

Lake Boga Preschool is committed to building relationships within the community that provide suitable opportunities to engage volunteers and enhance the program.  Working together we aim to bring to our community a caring and stimulating learning environment that offers quality early childhood education.
