Background:


The Taraleigh Steiner Pre-School was formerly the Carnegie Rudolf Steiner Pre School, which operated in Tara Grove for 20 years (1987 - 2007).

As of term two 2007, we have moved to beautiful new premises within the grounds of East Bentleigh Primary School.

What We Offer.

The Steiner philosophy on education for the child under 7, is to ensure the child is nurtured physically, emotionally and spiritually. Play in early childhood is the best preparation for a self-realising adult life.

'If a child has been able to play, to give up his whole living being to the world around him, he will be able to, in the serious tasks of latter life, devote himself with confidence and power to the service of the world.' - Rudolf Steiner

Our pre school strives to provide guidance for the young child in an environment where children are free to play and free to be children. The Steiner educator endeavours to create an environment that gives children time to play and encourages them to exercise their imagination and learn to conjure up ideas from within themselves. Great care is therefore taken to create a protected play-space where the child learns by doing. Simple, homely tasks and artistic activities to both do and see are balanced with story telling, singing games and generous play times.

More information about each group can be found by following the links on the left of this page. In summary, our pre-school offers:

"Older Group"

For children who turn four by the end of the year prior to starting

"Younger Group"

For children who turn three by 30th September the year prior to starting

"Playgroup"

For young children and their parents.

Our History, Our Future

Our pre school, run by parent volunteers who employ trained Steiner educators, has developed a strong reputation for being child centred, nurturing and encouraging parent participation. Many of the earlier families were the founders of the first dual stream primary school in Australia at East Bentleigh (mainstream and Steiner stream).

We are proud of our pre-school and grateful for the community support that helped us move to such wonderful new surroundings. Naturally, such a major endeavour has been expensive and funds are still needed. Donations to our Building Fund are Tax-Deductible in Australia.

Any amount gratefully received.
