Why choose a public preschool
Play-based learning
Quality play-based learning fosters confidence and creativity, enabling children to build meaningful relationships, develop a strong sense of identity, and make sense of the world around them.
Transition to school
Conveniently co-located on public school sites, public preschools support a smooth transition into Kindergarten.
Fee-free early learning in the year before school
Public preschools are free to attend and enrol children for one year only, the year before they start school.
Caring, qualified teachers
Each preschool class is staffed with a university-trained early childhood teacher and a trained School Learning Support Officer to ensure delivery of high-quality education and care.
