What makes our Waterford Room special

A play-based preschool program for three year olds that nurtures independence, curiosity, and confidence.

You want your child to feel safe, nurtured and encouraged to explore. At Kids on Beaufort, we focus on what matters most – genuine care, familiar faces and learning that grows with your child. That’s why families trust us to be their home away from home.

Highly qualified educators

With an additional educator in every room, your child gets more personalised attention and support.

This allows us to nurture small groups, give children space when they need it, and build strong bonds that help them thrive.

Learning through play

Our pre-kindy program blends child-led exploration with guided activities. From literacy and numeracy foundations to social and emotional skills, we focus on real school readiness—not worksheets, but confidence, resilience, and curiosity.

Little steps towards big milestones

We guide your child as they develop essential self-help skills like caring for themselves and others, building routines, and learning personal responsibility — all in a gentle, supportive way.

Enriching experiences

From yoga and sport to nature walks in the local community, your child will enjoy hands-on experiences that expand their world, encourage healthy movement, and spark new interests.

Real food, made with care

Our in-house cooks prepare wholesome meals that cater to every child’s dietary needs, so your child has the energy to play, learn, and grow.

Room to explore, space to belong

Our environments are designed with both active and quiet areas, helping children find the right balance between adventure and calm.

How we learn in the Waterfood Room

Our Waterford room is where curious minds thrive. Designed for children aged three to five, it’s an inspiring and dynamic environment where preschoolers extend their thinking, creativity, and independence as they prepare for the next stage of their learning journey.

Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, our educators create meaningful experiences that foster problem-solving, collaboration, and a genuine love of learning. Every day is filled with play, projects, and opportunities to build the skills they’ll carry into school and beyond.

Developing independence is a key focus at this stage. By three, children are eager to do more for themselves — and we’re here to support that. In the Waterford room, your child will practice essential life skills such as putting on their own shoes, washing their hands, and managing their belongings.

They also learn to care for others and take responsibility for daily routines. These small but significant steps help children build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of pride in their achievements.

The Waterford Room is designed for children aged 2–5 years (with an average age of 3) who are ready for a preschool-style environment that gently prepares them for school.

We have an additional educator in every room, which means smaller groups and more personalised support.

Our play-based approach, inspired by Reggio Emilia principles, balances child-led discovery with teacher guidance to nurture independence, creativity, and real school readiness.

To us, school readiness goes beyond letters and numbers. It’s about helping your child develop social skills, emotional resilience, motor skills, confidence, and independence.

We want them to feel capable, curious, and excited to take the next step.

Each day includes a mix of play-based learning, creative projects, literacy and numeracy foundations, outdoor exploration, and group activities.

Children also enjoy incursions such as yoga and sport, as well as excursions into the local Inglewood community.

We know the transition can feel big, so we offer orientation sessions to help families ease in gradually. Our educators take the time to get to know your child, their interests, and their routines, so they feel safe, supported, and ready to explore.

We see ourselves as partners in your child’s early education. You’ll receive regular updates and insights into your child’s learning, but we also love those everyday conversations at drop-off and pick-up.
Families are always welcome to share ideas, join in special events, and be part of our strong community.
