Our Programs
Muswellbrook Preschool provides a quality education which focuses on the needs and interests of each child. Children will be provided with opportunities to experience arts and crafts, gardening, pet care, science experiments, early numeracy and literacy activities including counting, measuring, reading, drawing, listening, and predicting, music and movement, sand and water play, physical activity and caring for our environment through our rich sustainability practices here at Preschool. These experiences will be presented within large groups, small groups and individually. Children will be encouraged to build on their own capabilities all while learning through play. Whilst at Muswellbrook Preschool, children will gain independence and become more confident individuals. They will gain an understanding of their role as citizens within our world and develop skills which will become the foundation for lifelong learning. Staff are committed to providing the highest quality education and care to your child. Should you wish to discuss any aspects of your child’s development or the Preschool program, please feel free to make an appointment with your child’s class teacher or the Director.
Early Years Learning Framework
Muswellbrook Preschool implements the Early Years Learning Framework version 2.0.
This Framework forms the foundation for ensuring all children at Muswellbrook Preschool experience quality teaching and learning.
Amaroo program
In Amaroo our goal is to foster an appreciation of our natural environment, develop environmental and sustainable practices, providing a platform for ongoing environmental learning for everyone at Muswellbrook Preschool.
Being in our outdoor environment ignites a variety of learning experiences for both children and Amaroo outdoor educators which invites open ended interactions, spontaneity, risk taking, exploration, discovery and connections with nature.
Read to me program
All children enrolled at Muswellbrook Preschool have the opportunity to become a member of our 'Read to Me' program. For a small fee, children borrow a book each day to take home and share with family members. Our 'Read to Me' program encourages a love of reading, promotes language development and helps develop secure relationships between you and your child.

Sustainable Schools Network
The Sustainable Schools Network aims to bring together local schools to share and teach each other about ongoing environmental initiatives, in conjunction with Muswellbrook Shire Council.
The Network aims to make connections between early childhood settings, primary and high schools in order for program transitions between schools to be seamless for future generations of students.
Children will gain knowledge throughout their schooling and be supported to take an active role in caring for the environment and to think about ways they can contribute to a sustainable future.
