Littlies get early learning start
CHILDREN as young as two-years-old can get an early start to education with Trinity Anglican School (TAS) in Cairns offering pre-kindergarten services at its Kewarra Berach and White Rock early learning centres (ELC).
TAS will add the pre-kindergarten year to its current ELC, offering children as young as two-years-old a headstart with the opportunity to complete two years of early learning (pre-kindy and kindy) before transitioning to primary school.
Construction is underway of new, state-of-the-art buildings, at each campus. They are scheduled for completion in coming months to accommodate TAS’ first pre-kindergarten intake.
TAS principal Paul Sjogren said adding pre-kindergarten to the school’s range of education services made perfect sense.
“TAS’ commitment to excellence in education extends to our youngest learners,” he said.
“We understand the importance early childhood education plays in positively shaping a child’s trajectory, and because of this, TAS is thrilled to introduce pre-kindy for far northern families,” he said.
TAS’ early childhood education and care director Kelly Hart said she was excited to invite applications from passionate and skilled early childhood educators to join TAS. "In line with the future growth of our early learning centres, we are committed to expanding our team of dedicated educators whose focus will be to nurture, guide and prepare children for a successful journey through school and beyond," she said.
