Deakin Preschool

Welcome to Deakin Preschool!

At Deakin Preschool, we believe in nurturing young minds in a warm and welcoming environment. Located in the heart of Canberra, Australia, our preschool is part of the Forrest Primary School, an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School. We proudly acknowledge the Ngunnawal people as the traditional custodians of this beautiful land.

A Diverse Community

Our preschool is a vibrant place where children from various backgrounds come together. With 45% of our enrolments representing different linguistic and cultural heritages, we celebrate diversity and encourage children to learn from one another.

Learning Through Inquiry

We offer a unique program for children from preschool to year 6 that focuses on inquiry-based learning. This means that we encourage our little learners to ask questions, explore, and think critically about the world around them. Our goal is to help them grow into global citizens who are curious and engaged.

Individualized Support

Every child is unique, and at Deakin Preschool, we tailor our programs to meet the individual needs of each student. Whether your child is an English learner or a gifted student, we provide the support they need to thrive and succeed.

A Caring Environment

We foster a strong sense of community among our staff and students, promoting well-being through restorative practices. Our caring approach ensures that every child feels safe, valued, and ready to learn.
