Blue House is a Reggio Emilia inspired preschool welcoming children from 18 months to 6 years old through a 2, 3 or 5 half or full day programme. The school recognises Educators as guides and facilitators of the children's learning experiences, cultivating a community of staff and families who believe in the children and recognise their potential. This is supported and driven through an environment that is rich in meaning, materials and resources that inspires exploration to further the children's interests, threads of thinking and projects of enquiry.

Testimonial
“My son has been at Bluehouse since the beginning and he has absolutely thrived there! We have never had any tears about going to school, he runs through the gate every morning! When he comes home the words come tumbling out about all the exciting “adventures” (his word) he has had with his friends. The quality of the teaching and the care they give in each exploration is second to none. The daily journals are fantastic for me as a working parent because they mean I can really keep track of what he’s exploring at school. Whenever I have met and spoken with his class teachers, I’ve always been struck by how well they know Jake. What they say isn’t just general feedback that you could say about any child, it’s very detailed and specific. This gives me total confidence that they really have invested in and know my son, as I think they do with all the children in the class. I can’t recommend Bluehouse highly enough.”
