We offer a number of programs and services to support your child’s early years learning.
Preschool program
Times
Your child can attend preschool for up to 15 hours per week or 30 hours per fortnight.
Within the each fortnightly period, your child will need to attend for two full days one week and three full days the other week. Please speak with us about the sessions you would like your child to attend.
| Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9.00am to 3.00pm | 9.00am to 3.00pm | 9.00am to 3.00pm | 9.00am to 3.00pm |
We understand that we all have multiple commitments in our lives and are mindful that the current session set up being offered may not work for everyone. If you do need to include some half days in your child's sessions, this can be negotiated with the director on a case by case basis.
We understand it can be hard sometimes to get to Kindy by 9.00am. It's ok if you arrive a bit later.
Fees
The parent contribution is $110 per term. See our enrolment and fees page for more information.
What to bring
Children need to bring these items each day:
- bag to hold their belongings
- sun-safe hat
- change of clothes each day (including underwear and socks)
- drink bottle containing water
- 2 pieces of fruit
- packed lunch
The clothes your child wears or brings to Kindy are important. Please make sure your child wears or brings:
- old clothes so they can get dirty
- clothes that are easy to undo so they can go to the toilet by themselves
- shoes suitable for running and climbing
- wet-weather clothing such as a raincoat, wet-weather pants and gumboots so they can participate in wet-weather play.
Please write your child’s name on all their belongings. The lost property box is on the shelf near the entrance. Please check this often.
What not to bring
Children should not bring these things:
- food containing nuts (some children have nut allergies that can be dangerous)
- unhealthy drinks (fizzy drinks)
- toys from home.
