Welcome to Briar Hill Preschool. We are a not-for-profit, community-based Preschool offering high quality sessional kindergarten programs for three- and four-year-old children.

Briar Hill Preschool acknowledge the Wurundjeri people as the traditional owners of the land on which the preschool is built. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Statement of commitment to child safety and wellbeing

Briar Hill Preschool is committed to creating a child safe organisation where all children and young people are safe and feel safe. Briar Hill Preschool supports and respects all children, as well as our staff and volunteers.

We have a greater focus on supporting the wellbeing and safety for those children and young people who are vulnerable and considered more at risk to abuse and neglect.

Briar Hill Preschool aims to actively celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children’s culture and develop the capacity to provide a culturally safe environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families.

Briar Hill Preschool supports children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, those who are unable to live at home, children living in under-resourced households, children with a disability and/or children from sex and gender-diverse groups (LGBTIQA+).

Briar Hill Preschool has a commitment to managing both physical and online environments to keep children and young people safe through governance, systems and processes.

Briar Hill Preschool has a zero tolerance towards discrimination, abuse, racism and bullying.

Every person involved in Briar Hill Preschool has a responsibility to understand the important and specific role they play individually and collectively to ensure that the wellbeing and safety of all children and young people is at the forefront of all hey do and every decision they make.

This statement provides framework for the organisational approach to complying with best practice by aligning with Child Safe Standards in conjunction with the guiding National Principles for Child Safe Organisations, National Quality frameworks, Service philosophy and UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
