At The Discovery House, we believe that for children to truly learn and thrive, they need to be in an environment where they feel safe, nurtured, and respected – a place where their emotional well-being is just as important as their educational growth.
Our Approach to Early Learning
At The Discovery House, we believe children thrive in environments where they feel safe, valued, and respected. We’re a family-owned and operated preschool in Castle Hill, with a proud history of providing exceptional early childhood education since 1976. Generations of local families have trusted us to care for and educate their children, and we are deeply committed to continuing that legacy.
Our approach combines a nurturing, fun atmosphere with a strong educational foundation to prepare children for their transition to primary school. We focus on fostering curiosity, independence, and a love of learning, ensuring every child is confident, socially and emotionally ready, and well-prepared academically.
What Sets Us Apart:
Individualised Learning: Every child receives a personalised learning plan, updated monthly, to ensure their unique needs and development are supported.
Small Group Learning: We intentionally maintain a low educator-to-child ratio, ensuring every child gets the attention they need.
Structured and Engaging Program: Our well-organised curriculum is designed to keep children engaged, busy, and learning throughout the day. We integrate hands-on activities, real-world exploration, and structured play that promote both academic and social growth.
Nurturing Independence: By teaching self-help skills and fostering independence, we help children build the confidence they need to thrive both in preschool and later in life.
Social and Emotional Development: Our program includes opportunities for children to practice social skills, with a focus on empathy, cooperation, and communication.
Consistent Routines: A predictable daily routine helps children feel secure and ensures they remain engaged in meaningful activities.
Consistent Educators: Our educators are all permanent and work set days, providing children with continuity and predictability when coming to preschool.
Why Families Choose Us:
Our experienced and passionate educators, all of whom are mothers themselves, bring both expertise and a deep understanding of children's needs to our program. With a focus on creating long-lasting relationships with families, we ensure that both children and parents feel supported every step of the way.
Let us help your child discover, learn, and grow in a caring, dynamic environment that prepares them for the exciting journey ahead in primary school.
