“Growing and Learning Together”

Poonindie Early Childhood Centre

At Poonindie Early Childhood Centre we are a small supportive learning community. We are a standalone Preschool who works closely with the Poonindie Community Learning Centre’s staff, students and families.

We view all children as capable and competent, full of knowledge and potential.

We value nature play, wonderment, curiosity and caring for our environment.

We recognise that there are 100 ways that children learn and acquire knowledge and meaning.

On Sunday 27 August 2023, the Commissioner the Hon Julia Gillard AC, handed down the final report outlining the findings and recommendations of the Royal Commission into Early Childhood Education and Care. To read the full report visit: www.royalcommissionecec.sa.gov.au/

Early childhood education and care is important for all children. The Royal Commission’s final report has made recommendations about work that can be done to help provide the best start for all children in the early years from birth to age 5.

Three-year-old preschool will be implemented starting from 2026.

The state government has begun work on the areas of reform needed to implement the Royal Commission’s recommendations.

We will provide you with updates as we know more.
