Sherbourne Preschool: Our Policies
Sherbourne Preschool is a place where children, parents and educators can feel a sense of belonging to our caring community.
Families are welcomed and encouraged to share their values, skills and traditions to enrich our children’s learning. We celebrate diversity and embrace each child’s individuality within an environment of respect and trust. Connections with the wider community are valued to enrich teaching and learning. Excursions, incursions and community interaction to support learning are a regular part of the program.
