Welcome to our Preschool (Gulpa gaka)
Koluka Preschool is in the grounds of Moama Public School and is open to all children indigenous and non-indigenous turning 4yrs before 31st July, the year before they attend primary school.
We run one group over three sessions during school times 9:05am to 3:05pm - Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. (18 Hours in Total).
Moama Public Koluka Preschool is the only Department of Education Preschool in Echuca- Moama and surrounding areas which places us with the unique ability to support the children of Echuca-Moama to achieve a smooth transition to primary school, as they are already a part of the vibrant and positive school community at Moama Public School.
Moama Public Koluka Preschool embraces the Early Years Learning Framework as a part of the National Quality Framework. At preschool we believe children learn best through well planned and supported play-based experiences, based on the interests and emerging skills of the children. Moama Public Aboriginal Preschool children learn in our well-resourced classroom with experienced and qualified Early Childhood Professionals delivering our innovative preschool program.
Meet the Educators
Teacher: Tracey Gray
Hi, I am Tracey and I have been teaching early childhood education since 1993. I am passionate about providing a warm and caring environment that helps and supports the children's learning and development. By giving them the opportunity through self discovery, allowing the child's natural curiosity to direct their learning and providing safe, nurturing environments that support risk taking and invites a sharing of ideas, whilst promoting respect for all things and all people. I look forward to meeting and getting to know new families at Moama Public Koluka Preschool.
