Our Philosophy

Crescent Head Community Pre-School’s vision is to empower children to full fill their potential as curious, resilient, thoughtful and confident members of society.

Core Value - Relationships

  • We foster safe, nurturing and respectful relations with children

  • We invite families and community to build relationships grounded in shared respect

  • We strive to nurture working relationships that are underpinned by cohesions, connection and mutual regard within our team

We believe

  • Children have a right to be safe & protected from harm

  • Children have a right to play and learn. We protect time for children to discover and be curious through autonomous choices. We use a balance of theories which include child-led inquiry, holistic development, and intentional teaching practices

  • Children exist within a broader interconnected network of relationships beyond their families

  • Children are innately capable and curious and can make active and meaningful contributions to their broader community

  • That an important aspect of our role is to support children’s social and emotional development

  • Our environment is an integral aspect of our service. We provide a warm, nurturing, child safe, home-like environment which allows children to challenge, and support their own capabilities

Welcome to Crescent Head Community

Pre-School Inc.

We are a Community-Based Pre-School located in the small township of Crescent Head, on the Mid North Coast of NSW, just 15 minutes’ drive from Kempsey. Established in 1985, we were founded and built by Crescent Head families. We respectfully acknowledge the Dunghutti People, the traditional custodians, of which our service is built on. We recognise and respect the elders of the past, present and those of whom are emerging within our community.

We are dedicated to providing a safe and welcome environment for children, their families and community.

We are a registered charity with ACNC for the purposes of fundraising.
