Pre School
What are Yugnu's preschool programs
At Yugnu, our preschool programs are thoughtfully designed for children in the years before starting school, typically ages 4 and 5. These specialist programs provide a play-based learning experience, fostering growth in a nurturing environment.
Each Yugnu preschool program is led by university-qualified Early Childhood Educators, ensuring a holistic approach to your child’s development. Our programs help children build essential skills and confidence, supporting a smooth transition to formal schooling.
We offer preschool programs in two distinct settings to meet the diverse needs of families:
1. Traditional Preschool Programs: Our traditional preschool settings are dedicated exclusively to preschool-aged children. These programs operate on a term basis, with holidays in between, and offer a shorter day similar to primary schools. Children typically bring their own meals. Please note that our traditional preschools are not eligible for Child Care Subsidy (CCS).
2. Integrated Preschool Programs : For families seeking greater flexibility, Yugnu also offers integrated preschool programs within our long day care centers. These programs are tailored specifically for preschool-aged children but offer extended hours and include meals. Integrated programs are eligible for Child Care Subsidy (CCS), providing potential fee relief for families who meet the criteria.
At Yugnu, we are committed to nurturing every child’s potential through play, exploration, and meaningful learning experiences.
At Yugnu, our preschool programs are thoughtfully crafted to provide a warm, engaging, and stimulating environment where children aged 4 and 5 can explore, learn, and thrive. Our play-based approach fosters creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning, helping children develop the essential skills they need for a smooth transition to school. Led by university-qualified Early Childhood Educators, our holistic programs focus on social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development, ensuring that every child is supported on their unique learning journey.

The skills children develop in a KU preschool program become the foundation for lifelong learning, and in fact, can positively shape the way they approach learning for the rest of their lives.
Preschoolers are at a time in their lives where they are gaining independence and becoming more confident as individuals, and gaining a greater understanding of their role as citizens within the world.
The skills children develop in a KU preschool program become the foundation for lifelong learning, and in fact, can positively shape the way they approach learning for the rest of their lives.
We encourage children to develop positive relationships and connections so that they begin to trust in their ability to take responsibility and challenge ideas.
Children are provided with the opportunity to engage in a wide variety of learning experiences and activities, including gardening, arts and crafts, music and movement, physical play, block building, sand and water play, science experiments, early numeracy activities such as counting and measurement, and early literacy activities such as reading, drawing and writing.
Other activities your child will experience include group games where children can take ownership and be leaders in their play. Children are also encouraged to engage in small group experiences that build on their capabilities and confidence, as well as with their educators in caring for their learning environment through sustainability practices and caring for each other.
KU’s Education Support Team supports KU centres with the inclusion of children with additional needs. This may include children with diagnosed disabilities, challenging behaviour or social and emotional difficulties, as well as supporting families and educators when they have concerns about a child’s development. The team of Education Support Managers have qualifications in Early Childhood Education and Teaching as well as postgraduate qualifications in Special Education or related fields. The Education Support Manager may visit the centre your child attends by direct request of the family, the centre, or as a part of general education support and may also liaise with therapists and other allied professionals.
Integrated preschool programs are eligible for CCS, while traditional preschools are not.
