Darpreet Virdi

Preschool Teacher

Darpreet is the Preschool Teacher in Preschool 2. She prepares the children for school ensuring that they have the basic understanding and skills required to support them in their learning, both academically and emotionally as they move from nursery to school as it is such a big step for the children.

Darpreet organises activities for the children to encourage excitement, enjoyment, curiosity and challenging experiences  spanning across the learning areas; personal, social and emotional development, communication, language and literacy, problem solving, reasoning and numeracy, knowledge and understanding of the world, physical development and creative development. In preparing for school, we also focus on becoming independent, learning letters and sounds as well as counting and recognition of numbers and shapes.
