About Our Preschool

Why choose our public preschool?

Our public preschool is a fee-free and purpose built preschool at St Johns Park Public School. It’s an easy choice for local families with young children.

We are a play based preschool providing a holistic approach to children, their development and their learning, in a supportive and inclusive environment.

St Johns Park Public School Preschool aims to provide a high quality curriculum for all children. The curriculum refers to the interactions, experiences, activities, routines and events that occur on a day to day basis. The curriculum is driven by The National Quality Framework and The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) ‘Being, Belonging and Becoming’. The frameworks elements include, learning outcomes, guidelines on best practice and principles that see each child as an active and involved learner.

A positive start to preschool is important and relies on everyone working together to make it happen – family, community and our preschool team.

We give every child the start in early childhood education. At our preschool, children explore, ask questions and grow in a safe and caring place. Our friendly team helps each child learn and feel good through fun, hands-on play that builds confidence and curiosity.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our preschool. Contact us to talk to our team, book a tour or join our waitlist.

Preschool days and hours

Our preschool is open for 6 hours a day, on the same days as all NSW public schools. To learn about our preschool hours, please contact us.

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 bring their own meals and snacks to preschool. For more information, please contact us.

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. More information can be found on our Enrolment page.
