Preschool

At preschool your child will learn through play-based programs designed and delivered by qualified teachers. Children are entitled to 15 hours per week of preschool for one year (4 terms) before they start school.

Children who turn 4 years old:

  • before 1 May are eligible to start preschool at the beginning of the year.
  • on 1 May to 31 October can commence preschool through the mid-year intake at the start of term 3 of that year.
  • after 31 October will be eligible to commence preschool at the start of the following year.

Children who identify as Aboriginal and children who are In Care under the Department of Child Protection, are eligible for 12 hours of preschool a week, after they turn 3. They will then be eligible for 15 hours per week of preschool in the year before they start school.
