Weybourne is a safe, rich, warm and natural environment where young children can enjoy interacting with each other and make sense of their world in their own time.
Our Vision
Children grow each day with a sense of confidence, wondering and taking risks to make meaning about the world around them. It is with this vision we designed and built our little preschoolhouse.
Where We Are
Weybourne is uniquely advantaged by its location within the wider Lawrence Park area. Children have opportunities to visit the library, explore on the Discovery Walk, or stroll to Lawrence Park for a swing.
Our Play Curriculum
Inspire Curiosity with Inquiry
Inspire Curiosity with Inquiry
Inspire Curiosity with Inquiry
A Reggio-inspired curriculum builds from the natural curiosities of children. Sometimes it will emerge from the children’s interests or may also be sparked by the teacher strategically putting out a provocation to see how the children respond or by posing inquiry-based questions that deepen learning and understanding. Teachers may also create a curiosity by reading rich literature, taking advantage of real life experiences outside and within the community, and by deeply listening and responding to the thoughts and ideas of children.
Learn to Communicate

Our team of fully-qualified educators actively observe and listens to each child so we can meet their unique needs. The arts is a key role and are integrated into daily activities to maximize children’s development. Children will regularly spend time with their teacher and frequently participate in dance, drama, music, movement instruction and play; all part of the many different ways children can collaborate.
Build Collaboration with Play
Inspire Curiosity with Inquiry
Build Collaboration with Play
Children will engage in in-depth studies that develop out of their ideas, questions, and interests. Projects may last for short or extended periods of time and may involve individuals, small groups or the whole class. Educators choose what materials to use to support their explorations and how to research, share and re-represent their learnings. Projects involve collaboration which supports the development of cognitive, communication and social skills. Children are also encouraged to negotiate, discuss, critique, compare and problem solve during project work, all important aspects of the child’s ability to self-regulate behaviour.
