What we offer
Your child can attend preschool for up to 15 hours per week.
Children attending the Speech and Language program are in the blue group.
Children attending our kindergarten transition to a range of schools. We strive to place children in ‘school groups’ as they commence kindergarten at the beginning of the year so they, along with their families, develop a connectedness with each other.

Speech and Language program
Speech and Language programs are funded by the Department for Education and are inclusive and integrated programs that operate within 8 geographically located preschools. The department employs a speech pathologist and Speech and Language program teacher to work specifically with 7 children in each program, who have been identified with significant speech and/or language delays. The speech pathologist provides intensive individual and small group speech pathology and the primary role of the teacher is to support these children to access, participate and integrate in the mainstream program. Children must be referred and meet specific criteria to enrol in the program.
Times
Monday and Wednesday all term and Friday weeks 1 and 2 of each term.
Occasional care
When we have the capacity, unfunded occasional care is available for enrolled children on negotiation with staff. Please speak to us if you require occasional care.
