What We Offer
We offer a number of programs and services to support your child’s early years learning.
Preschool program
Your child can attend preschool for up to 15 hours per week.
To support your child’s continuity and relationship development we provide consecutive full days.
Fees
The parent contribution is $200 per term. See our enrolment and fees page for more information.
What to bring
Your child needs to bring these items each day:
-
- bag
- hat
- change of clothes
- drink bottle containing water
- healthy snack
- packed lunch
Please write your child’s name on all their belongings.
Dress your child in clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty, as preschool can get messy. Clothing must be sun smart (PDF 48KB) and cover shoulders, with easy fastenings so they can go to the toilet by themselves. Their shoes should be suitable for running and climbing (no flip flops, thongs or crocs).
What not to bring
Your child 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)

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.
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.
