Coonamble Pre School implements a play-based program set within a structured framework of a consistent daily routine. Our learning environment is natural with added elements and is a reflection of our community and the children, their families and educators.

Our large outdoor learning environment is a generous and powerful place for children to learn. The design invites children to connect with the Earth and nature in meaningful ways. Unlimited access to dirt, sand, grass, water, trees and gardens encourages our children to form life-long connections with our natural world. We aim to inspire children to develop a sense of love, respect and kindness for our natural environment.
