Preschool learning goals
In our Preschool program, we support children to grow as confident, capable learners who are well prepared for their transition to school. Through intentional, play-based learning experiences, children are encouraged to:
- Build resilience, independence and self-regulation skills to manage new challenges and routines
- Develop early literacy and numeracy understandings through meaningful, play-based exploration
- Strengthen problem-solving, critical thinking and creative expression across a range of learning experiences
- Form positive relationships, practise cooperation and develop a strong sense of identity and belonging
- Build confidence in communication, curiosity and a love of learning that supports school readiness
Together, our learning environments create a continuous and supportive journey that nurtures children from their earliest years through to a confident transition to school.
We’re all about healthy, nutritious eating
Our centre cook brings years of experience across both hospitality and early childhood settings, preparing fresh, nutritious meals each day in line with the Munch & Move guidelines. Children enjoy a rotating four-week seasonal menu that includes breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack, offering a wide variety of flavours to support healthy eating habits. All meals are prepared on site and we cater to individual dietary requirements, including halal options, to ensure every child’s needs are safely and thoughtfully met.
We welcome family input and encourage families to share cultural recipes, helping children experience diverse foods while strengthening each family’s sense of belonging within the centre community.
Personalised learning and inclusion
At enrolment, families complete a short profile to share their child’s routines, interests, strengths, and any additional support needs. Educators use this information to plan familiar experiences for the child’s first days and to begin Individual Learning Plans. Children are observed regularly, and these observations guide intentional teaching experiences that support each child’s development at their own pace. Learning plans are reviewed with families to ensure goals, routines, and strategies remain relevant and effective.
For children who require additional support, educators work with families and inclusion support services to develop a Strategic Inclusion Plan that outlines practical strategies, environmental adjustments, and targeted learning supports. Educators implement these strategies within daily routines and learning experiences, monitor progress, and update plans as needed, ensuring each child can participate fully and confidently in the program.

Frequently asked questions
In Australia, sessional preschools are usually operated by local government, religious organisations, schools, private organisations or the community. They usually run during school term and school hours, meaning the program runs for 40 weeks per year, with most sessions finishing up around 2 pm, over 2-3 days per week.
Funding and fees for sessional preschool programs may vary, and meals are not covered. Age requirements still apply depending on the state or territory you are in.
The preschool program is also offered in long day care centres. Most long day care centres are open from 7:00 AM. to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday with flexible drop-off/pick-up times to better accommodate busy working families. Long day care centres run 52 weeks per year, meaning your child would not miss out on valuable learning opportunities during school holidays.
Nutritional meals and snacks are covered in long day care centres, so you don’t have to worry about packing lunches.
Child Care Subsidy still applies when your child attends the preschool programs offered in long day care services. NSW’s funding options for preschool can be combined with your Child Care Subsidy savings, making preschool more affordable for your family.
Essentially, there is no difference between the curriculums adopted by long day care and sessional preschool providers. They are both run by qualified early childhood teachers, and they all align with Early Years Learning Framework, focusing on supporting individual children’s development, interests and needs through play-based and intentional learning experiences.
If your child is already settled at a long day care centre, they have the opportunity to stay in a familiar environment, transitioning together with their friends.
Children can start preschool in the year they turn four by July 31.
An annual Government fee relief payment of up to $2174 is available to 4-year-old children who attend an eligible early childhood education program at an approved New South Wales G8 Education centre. To be eligible, the child must be 4 years old by 31 July in the relevant enrolment year and have nominated a G8 Education eligible centre for the enrolment year. Families with children who are 3 years old and not yet 4 years old on or before 31 July in 2025 (the child’s birthdate must be on, or between, 1 August 2021 and 31 July 2022), and who are enrolled at our Centre can save up to $515 in 2025. The pro-rated payment is applied monthly (March – December) to a child’s fees after any CCS has been applied. Children that discontinue in the program or commence after March in the relevant year will be allocated a pro-rated subsidy based on their departure or commencement date.
Yes! CCS applies to preschool hours in long day care, reducing your out-of-pocket costs.
