Our preschool shares the vision and philosophy: Where education, care and play go hand in hand.

We believe that all children are:

• curious
• creative
• active
• decision-makers, and despite these similarities, each child is unique.

The educators ensure that a quality early childhood education is provided to lay the foundations for a successful learning journey through life. The educators provide a soft, inspiring entry into the larger school community, showing professionalism, care, and respect to all.

Please refer to our preschool information handbook for everything you need to know about our preschool.

Our Staff

Fees

We do not charge fees to attend our preschool. NSW public preschools are funded by the NSW government.

Attendance

Public preschools enrol children for one year only, the year before they start school.

Children can enrol from the beginning of the school year if they turn 4 years of age before 31 July that year.

Meals

Children can bring their own meals and snacks to preschool. For more information, please contact us. The school canteen also has a special menu, see below for details.

How to enrol

Unlike NSW public schools, there are no intake areas for public preschools. Enrolment is on application only.

Enrolling in a preschool within a school does not guarantee a place at that school for Kindergarten.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is an important agreement by countries who have promised to protect children’s rights.

The States Parties to the Convention agree on the importance of human rights as stated in the United Nations Charter, which says that everyone deserves dignity and equal rights for freedom and peace. They recognise that children need special care and support, and that families play a key role in helping children grow and thrive. The Convention stresses that children should be raised in loving and happy environments. It also notes the need for countries to work together to improve the lives of children, especially in poorer nations, while respecting different cultures and traditions.

The ECACode of Ethics

The ECA Code of Ethics outlines the expected behaviour of early childhood professionals, focusing on appropriate practices in early childhood education and care environments. Based on the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), it integrates current pedagogical research to guide ethical responsibilities towards children and families. Additionally, the Code recognises the longstanding traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in nurturing and educating children, honouring their cultural practices.

The NSW Child Safe Standards

The NSW Child Safe Standards are 10 principles created to help make organisations safer for children. Introduced in 2022, these standards focus on preventing and responding to harm, like physical, emotional, and psychological abuse, and neglect. They are part of the NSW Child Safe Scheme, which aims to make child safety a priority in the leadership and culture of organisations.

The National Model Code for Early Childhood Education and Care

The National Model Code is a set of guidelines developed in Australia to promote safe practices in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings, particularly regarding the use of electronic devices for taking pictures and videos of children. It establishes standards for the conduct of professionals in various fields, including education, and aims to encourage ethical behaviour, professionalism, and accountability among practitioners.
