Barbara Rose Christian Preschool

Where it all began

In 1990, the preschool started as an extension of the Little Lambs Under-2’s Church group, led by Esther Ferguson and Barbara Rose Dimmock. Unfortunately, Barbara passed away shortly before the preschool was due to begin, leading Esther to name the new group in her memory. Initially, it was a small, informal gathering in the Quiet Room at the front of the Church, taking place every Wednesday afternoon. The group consisted of 12 children and 4 helpers. Despite significant changes since its inception at St. Paul’s, the Pre-School has maintained its strong ties with the Church and its community.

Barbara Rose Christian Preschool believes in child-led learning during the early years to help children thrive progress in their learning. We provide a stimulating environment that is carefully organised to meet their needs and managed by adults who engage with them to unlock each child’s full potential. Our goal is to lay a solid foundation for children to develop and experience the world around them.

We are a team of highly skilled and knowledgeable educators who share a vision of providing outstanding education and care for our children and families.
