Nido Early School Willetton is located in a suburban area south of Perth. The centre opens 6:30am to 6:30pm Monday to Friday and caters for 72 children per day (130 families across the week).
Nido Willetton has a strong focus and emphasis on children’s citizenship, service and connection to the community. Children have responsibilities at Nido and are part of the service operation including admin, resources, dishes, washing, caring for the animals and gardening projects. Children are part of decision making and the team encourages children to not be limited to their ‘spaces’, but experience all areas of the school. Nido Willeton is proud of the high level of family engagement.
Perth College is an Independent K-12 Anglican school for girls and is over 110 years old. In the Junior School there is one stream from K-4 and then three classes in Year 5 & 6. The Kindergarten and Preparatory classes are both housed in original old houses. Positive Education, nature play and grounds, Reggio inspired, sustainable practices, Waste Wise School and regular bushland visits are some of the experiences provided. The Kindergarten and Preparatory run a full day five-day a week service with 26 students.
Perth College Kindergarten children can be creative, think critically, be imaginative, build, design and experiment through their interactions with loose parts both recycled and natural. A digital atelier is also a feature of the Kindergarten. Children’s voices are integral and are made visible through documentation. Children are encouraged to reflect on sustainable practices. A nearby conservation bushland called “Inglewood Triangle” has been adopted by the Kindergarten and children work alongside volunteers to care for the native flora and fauna, helping to weed, water and plant new seedlings. They are also concerned about and investigate alternatives for single use plastics, especially plastic straws.
