3 YEAR OLD TEACHERS AND EDUCATORS

At Winston Hills Preschool we have established, a experienced and consistent team of teachers and educators who are passionate about early childhood education whom are able to deliver a high quality play-based program and curriculum. Our team is led by University Degree qualified Early Childhood Teachers with support staff holding either a Diploma or Certificate Three in Early Childhood Education.
