Belonging Being and Becoming
We believe children will feel a sense of belonging at Telarah Public School Public Preschool. We understand that childhood is a time to be, to seek and make meaning to the world. Telarah Public School Public Preschool provides all children with learning that is engaging and builds success for life.
Play is the work of young children and reflects their stage of development and individuality. It is the PROCESS not always the PRODUCT that is important. Recognising a child's efforts will encourage the developement of self-esteem.
