About Somers
Somers Preschool is nestled amongst the trees, just minutes from the beach. There is a sense of calm and tranquility at our kindergarten which allows for children to learn in an environment which nurtures their wellbeing.
Children learn in a balanced curriculum; play and intentional teaching sit alongside each other to support children’s skills, knowledge and characteristics. Music and movement are important to us and the children; we deliver a rich creative environment.
Somers Preschool will be offering Nature Kinder as a part of the program. Nature pedagogy is an important part of the curriculum at Somers and this will continue in 2021 but will look different in order to fit in with the longer days. The beautiful local surrounds of the beach and bushland will be used to explore and learn about nature and indigenous culture. The connections the community has made with Coolart will continue but in a different way.
We have strong connections to the country. Our curriculum embeds the traditions of our Indigenous culture and proudly works alongside the local indigenous community.
Our playground has recently undergone a remarkable transformation. Children are exploring nature, taking risks and going on adventures as they march over the bridge, pump water into the creek, dig in the mud pit and much more.
We are proud to be supported by a strong group of families who work hard to build our kindergarten’s sense of community.
