Children who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind or have low vision can enrol at one of our three specialist preschool programs (NextSense Spoken Language program, NextSense Sign Bilingual program NextSense Blind and Low Vision program) where our expert teachers foster language, emotional and social development to enhance self-esteem and independence. We also offer specialist hearing loss support for children in mainstream preschools.

We offer three specialist preschool programs:

• NextSense Spoken Language, an inclusive early learning program for children aged 3-5 years who are deaf or hard of hearing and their hearing peers.
• NextSense Sign Bilingual, a bilingual (Auslan and English) program for deaf and hard of hearing children who are being educated with their signing hearing peers. Children can enrol in this program from 3 years of age.
• NextSense Blind and Low Vision, for children with low vision aged 3-5 years.

Our inclusive model means your child will learn alongside their hearing and sighted peers. All children are unique, and at NextSense Preschool we respect each other’s differences, whatever they may be. We believe that embracing diversity fosters acceptance and understanding. All students receive specialist education from our expert teaching staff. We champion full and active participation in the learning environment. With a focus on social and emotional development, your child will become independent at preschool and confident to take on primary school.
