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. Weekly attendance at our kindy is based on 2 full days and a half day.

Sessions are dependent on available spaces and individual family needs.

Fees

The parent contribution is $55 per term.  See our enrolment and fees page for more information.

What to bring

Your child needs to bring these items each day:

• bag
• change of clothes
• nappies if required
• drink bottle containing water
• healthy snack
• packed lunch.

Please write your child’s name on all their belongings.

Your child needs to wear comfortable clothing that covers their shoulders, especially in the warmer months. Avoid your child's best or favourite clothes. Getting dirty is part of kindy life!

What not to bring

Children should not bring these things:

• food containing nuts (some children have nut allergies that can be dangerous)
• unhealthy food or drink (lollies, chocolate, chips, fizzy drinks)
• toys from home.

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.

Cost

This program costs $5 per session and $2.50 for siblings.

If you have an Australian Government Pensioner Concession or Health Care Card, the cost is $1.50 per session and 75 cents for siblings.

What to bring

Your child needs to bring these items each day:

• bag
• broad-brimmed, legionnaire or sun-safe hat (without chin straps)
• change of clothes
• nappies if required
• drink bottle containing water
• healthy snack
• packed lunch.

Please write your child’s name on all their belongings.
