Monbulk Pre-School is licensed and managed by Monbulk Primary School and is committed to being an equal opportunity employer.

We are situated in Monbulk Living and Learning Centre and operate funded 3- and 4-year-old programs (separate rooms). Our service philosophy is "Educators provide a supportive and welcoming learning environment, creating a sense of belonging and wellbeing for all children". Our programs follow the National & Victorian Early Years Learning Frameworks and we have been assessed each time by the Department of Education & Training as exceeding in all 7 quality areas of the National Quality Standards. Our educational programs play-based and open-ended, and children to learn because they are interested in what they are doing. We extend children's thinking through modelling, problem-solving and purposeful activities which help them to understand a new concept, develop an idea they have had or try a new skill. The program encourages creative thinking, independence, decision making and risk taking and provides children with opportunities to experiment, explore, discover and create. Monbulk Pre-School is committed to child safety. We want children to be safe, happy and empowered, and we have zero tolerance of child abuse. We understand our legal and moral obligations to treat all concerns seriously and to report allegations and concerns about child/ren's safety and wellbeing to authorities.
