Presence Over Platforms

In the interest of protecting childhood and supporting the healthy development of young minds, New Horizons Preschool Lenah Valley chooses to remain off social media. We believe childhood is a sacred, screen-free time; therefore, you won’t find us on digital platforms.

Instead, we prefer the quiet of the atelier, the depth of the garden, and the genuine connection of a face-to-face conversation. You will find us in the heart of our community, prioritising presence and the meaningful relationships that define our preschool practice.

Preschool Values

• Valuing listening, relationships and connections
• Valuing complexity, not-knowing, uncertainty, divergent and contradictory ideas
• Valuing questions and the process of investigating them, more than arriving at answers
• Valuing the shared construction of knowledge and understanding, rather than the transmission of facts, information or topical knowledge
• Focusing on the immediacy of what is unfolding, rather than focus on the achievement of learning outcomes
• Valuing imagination and creativity
• Valuing multiple ways of expressing ideas through the ‘hundred languages’
• Valuing slowing down, taking time to explore ideas and theories
• Valuing beautiful, calm, engaging environments
