Welcome to Eungai Preschool
Nestled in the heart of beautiful Gumbaynggirr country, Eungai Community Preschool is a vibrant, nurturing community where children build strong foundations for life through connection, exploration, and joyful play.
Respect & Empathy are not abstract ideals at Eungai Preschool – they are lived, modelled and embedded across every layer of our curriculum.
These values guide our interactions, decision making, environment design and our understanding of children as capable, emotionally rich human beings who are learning how to take their place is community.
Our aim is to nurture compassionate, ethical young citizens who engage with others – and with the world – with fairness, curiosity and care.
Here, every moment of play is an opportunity for learning – about ourselves, each other, and the world we share.
‘Play is the foundation of learning, creativity, self-expression and constructive problem-solving. It’s how children wrestle with life to make it meaningful.’ Susan Linn
We are committed to creating an environment which encourages your child to experience the joy and challenges of community – preparing them for school and life.
Our AIM is for each child to foster:
- A sense of wonder
- Good citizenship
- A love of nature
- Critical thinking
- Empathy
- Competence and a sense of capability
- Effective communication
And thereby construct their own identity and sense of self.
At Eungai Preschool we equip children for life through the power of play, self discovery, intrinsic motivation, imagination and problem solving.
OUR COMMITMENTS
to each & every child
Our curriculum is deeply informed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, helping children grow into thoughtful stewards of the planet.
“What first drew me to Eungai Preschool was their beautiful nature-based learning approach. I loved the idea of my children exploring, discovering, and learning through play in such a natural environment. From the very beginning, I knew this was a special place. Eungai Preschool has truly transformed our lives. Over the past four years, all three of my children have been surrounded with such care, love, and support from the amazing staff. This preschool goes above and beyond for every single family. The SNAP program has been life-changing for us—thanks to their knowledge, guidance, and expertise, I’ve been able to navigate the world of neurodiversity from the very beginning. Words can’t express the gratitude I feel. Eungai Preschool is the most caring, supportive, and incredible place, and I honestly wish every school was just like it. “

“Eungai Preschool has gone above and beyond for our son, and transitioning him into preschool. He started off so worried and anxious and is now thriving, confident in playing, making friends, and telling us about his day. We are forever grateful to the teachers at Eungai Preschool!
