Session Times
Children in South Australia are entitled to four sessions of preschool a week. Their preschool is the eighteen months prior to starting school. Each session is a full day every Tuesday and each alternate Thursday. Children catch the school bus to the centre.
To teach young children and promote a belief in themselves as learners in a play based environment we provide teaching and learning experiences that promote child engagement, wellbeing, positive relationships, confidence, literacy, numeracy, physical skills, healthy eating, fitness, thinking skills and creativity.
Full Day Sessions: | 8.45am – 3.20pm, Tuesdays and every alternate Thursdays |
