Mission Statement
Mansfield Preschool is a dynamic and progressive kindergarten whose mission is to provide a high quality educational program for children and families in accordance with its commitment to the rights of children and the principles of social justice.
Philosophy
The committee of management and the staff of Mansfield Preschool believe that all children have the right to a safe, happy, stimulating and caring environment.
The Program
Preschool education is concerned with promoting optimal development of young children through a rich variety of first hand experiences. It is a wonderful age. The children are full of interest and intrigue and are ready for the challenge and enticement into further learning. Our program relies on family involvement in order to make this a secure and happy time for your child.
We communicate the program through a regular newsletter and wall displays. It is centered around children, their interests and level of development.

Enrolments and Fees
Preschool enrolment is based on the government policy that every child in Victoria shall have one year at preschool in the year preceding school entry. Parents of younger children need to give careful consideration as to when their child will be ready to enter the education system. Enrolments are taken at any time once your child has turned two. If you have any questions about your child’s readiness for preschool and school please contact the centre to make an appointment with one of the teachers.
Parents and families are encouraged to visit the kinder prior to enrolment but we ask that you call and make an appointment so that sessions are not disrupted.
