What if my child is sick on a preschool day?
Please contact the school office and advise of your child's absence. Daily Fees will still be charged.
What days can my child come to preschool?
Our preschool offers 2 classes with a maximum of 20 children per day. Children attend preschool either 2 or 3 days per week as outlined below. This ensures each child has access to 600 hours of preschool over the course of the year, in line with the federal government's initiative of Universal Access to a quality preschool program.
