Pre-Schools’ Update

We are delighted to welcome Ms Abigail McFarlane as Cranbrook’s Pre-school Coordinator.

Ms McFarlane is originally from the United Kingdom where she studied Early Childhood Studies at the University of Roehampton and worked in early childhood centres in Kent. Since arriving in Australia 5 years ago, she has worked in early years education building, managing and leading multiple early childhood centres. This has provided Abigail opportunities to embed her own educational philosophy in line with Australia’s Early Years Learning Framework.

Her personal educational philosophy is to offer and support engaging, stimulating environments, both indoors and outdoors, for children to become their own active, unique learners. Abigail believes children being at the centre of a creative and innovative curriculum will enable them to explore the best opportunities to become active and independent learners.

Creating strong bonds and relationships with our Cranbrook families is pivotal to creating a warm, loving learning journey for every child. Abigail is very excited about her role at Cranbrook as Pre-school Coordinator, and she is very much looking forward to meeting and getting to know our Pre-school children and their families.
