Construction for our new public preschool has now started!
At Our Preschool

- Children will strengthen their curiosity and love of learning in a nurturing environment.
- Children will engage in thoughtfully designed play-based experiences with our qualified educators.
- Our public preschool will be an approved early childhood education and care service.

Our public preschool program will:
- Support children’s learning, development and wellbeing through offering quality play-based learning programs for 5 days a fortnight in the year before Kindergarten to support children’s transition to primary school
- Strengthen children’s confidence as learners in the year before school
- Extend and enrich each child’s learning, development and wellbeing and operate under the National Quality Framework.External link
Preschool Information
Our preschool will operate:
- Monday to Friday [8:55am to 2:55pm]
- Our preschool will be closed for school holidays and public holidays
- Each preschool class will enrol up to 20 children per day.
Our public preschool will be free to attend. Fees are not charged for preschool enrolment, attendance, waiting list applications or specialist programs.
Start Strong funding is not used to subsidise fees at public preschools and may still be accessed by families at other early childhood education and care services.
Enrolments
Public preschools enrol children for one year only, the year before they start school.
Enrolment at Mount Pritchard Public Preschool is not yet open.
We look forward to informing families when they can start submitting an expression of interest form to our school office, which is expected to be approximately 6 months before the preschool opens.
See our enrolment guidelines for more information.
