Enrolment

2023 ENROLMENTS

The preschool operates 5 days per week during school terms.
Sessions are from 9.00am to 3.00pm. Children must be 2 – 5 years of age to attend the preschool.

There may be limited places available for 2 year old children to attend on only one day a week (day to be confirmed) in 2023.

Children will need to be 2 years old by 31^st January to enrol, with Priority of Access given to 3 – 5 year old children in the community under the terms and conditions of the preschool’s funding. Based on the Expressions of Interest received, and the number of 3-5 year old enrolments as these must be given preference, the preschool will then determine the pattern of enrolments for 2-year olds in 2023.

Immunisation

Government Legislation states that the Preschool is required to maintain an immunisation register regarding the immunisation status of all enrolled children. To enrol in the Preschool, parents must provide an ACIR Immunisation History Statement stating the child is up-to-date or on a catch up schedule (certified  by the immunisation provider), or provide the Preschool with an ACIR Immunisation Exemption form (certified  by an immunisation provider) for medical reasons.

Fee Schedule 2023

The Start Strong for Community Preschools program provides funding to deliver affordable quality preschool education for 3 to 5 year old children enrolled in eligible community and mobile preschools in NSW.

The Fee Relief Payment in 2023 aims to reduce the cost of early childhood education and care to families in the form of fee pass-through. The funding is provided to reduce the daily fees as much as possible for 600 hours per year of enrolment for eligible children accessing fee relief at the service.

School Bus

By special arrangement, school buses bring some children living outside the town limits to the Preschool and pick-up in the afternoon. Bus drivers are not required to carry Preschoolers and they are not paid for this service – they travel any extra distance at their own expense.  Please recognise the favour your bus driver is doing for you.

ONLY CHILDREN WHO LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE TOWN LIMITS ARE ALLOWED TO TRAVEL TO AND FROM PRESCHOOL BY BUS.
