We offer a number of programs and services to support your child’s early years learning.
Preschool program
Times
Children are entitled to 600hours of preschool across their kindergarten year. At our site all children have access two full days and one half day. Week 3 and week 5 each term we do not offer the half days and this allows us to attend excursions and or have visiting performers or special interest days without saying goodbye to children half way through the day.
A full day is 8.50am - 3.10pm
A half day is 8.50 - 12noon from week 3 term 1 and not week 5 and 10 of each term.
We have two groups of children; Monday and Tuesday full day with a Wednesday or Thursday half day OR Wednesday and Thursday full day with a Monday or Tuesday half day
| Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday |

Please speak with us if your child has a security toy. Your child is welcome to share interesting things they may find in nature, such as nests, shells, insects.
Additional information
Lunch care is part of our kindy program. We will support your child as they eat their lunch. During lunch we talk about 'everyday' and 'sometimes' foods.
During the year we have pupil-free closure days. We will let you know in advance when these will be.
