Bus service
Preschool children can travel on the bus if there are seats available. The bus drops off and picks up from the front of our kindergarten. An educator will meet the bus every morning and will help your child to get on it in the afternoon. Please call the Crystal Brook Primary School on 86362134 for more information.
Additional information
Our doors open at 8.45am. It's important that you don't leave your child unsupervised in the playground before this time. Please read our pick-up and drop-off procedure (PDF 112KB).
Occasional care
Occasional care is for children under school age who aren’t in any other early childhood education and care programs, such as preschool, childcare or family day care. It promotes young children’s development by giving them access to high-quality early childhood education.
It may help parents to take part in a range of activities including non-work and casual work commitments.
Priority of access
The education department has a priority of access policy to decide who can get into occasional care. This might mean that some families get more sessions than others.
Talk to us about enrolling in occasional care.
Times
Children generally can go to 1 session a week.
