About Estrella Preschool

Play-based learning is at the heart of the Estrella program and takes place in both indoor and outdoor spaces. 

The large, light filled main room is inviting and engaging. The generous and natural outdoor environment offers endless possibilities for creative activity and fun. 

The dedicated and creative educators work hard to sustain an environment that encompasses the kinder's philosophies and promotes discovery, exploration, problem-solving, creativity, literacy, independence and resilience. 

Estrella prides itself on the solid community foundation they have established, and look forward to guiding your child.
