We recognise that many families in our community are navigating increasingly complex challenges, including early childhood anxiety and social-emotional hurdles. In response, we have evolved our preschool model to bridge the gap between early education and therapeutic support.

A Home for Therapeutic Play & Parenting

​For 22 years, New Horizons Lenah Valley has been a preschool with an inspiring, authentic and progressive vision for early childhood education; one which continually challenges us to re-imagine the rich possibilities for early years education.

As a Reggio-Inspired service, we believe children are powerful researchers – capable of complex inquiry-based learning and gifted with a ‘hundred languages’ to express their understanding of the world.

Our progressive new direction is to deepen this commitment by becoming an innovative preschool that addresses the most vital need of the modern child: the literacy of emotional resilience.

We are moving toward a future where the inquiry of the mind is balanced with the strength of the heart.

More Than a Preschool  – A Specialised Integrative Service

At New Horizons Lenah Valley, we believe that a regulated heart is the foundation of a curious mind. As we evolve, we are integrating the expertise of our Founder’s daughter – a Registered General Psychologist – with a Master of Child Play Therapy, to weave deep emotional support into our daily inquiry work. This partnership ensures that your child’s self-esteem and emotional co-regulation are nurtured alongside their cognitive growth.

By remaining a small, intimate team of highly experienced staff, we are dedicated to this specialised path where psychological understanding meets the magic of inquiry. We are committed to protecting the wonder of childhood while building the foundations for a resilient, confident life.
