Stronger communities are good for all. Like our children on their own learning journey, Dubbo and District Preschool continues its own journey in our determination to pursue quality education and improve practice. We learn from the past, live in the present and are building for the future. Our beliefs, based on theory and current research, inform our day to day practices to support children to grow into respectful functioning members of society, learning skills for life.
