FAQ

There is no minimum age however for placing your child onto a waitlist for when they turn the available age.

Short answer is NO! Preschool requires families to provide crunch and sip (fresh fruit or vegetables) , lunch and an afternoon tea snack. We are able to provide plenty of suggestions and ideas on what to pack for you child.

We currently have an extensive waitlist for 2024, this does not necessarily mean your child will not get a position, there are many contributing factors to take into account. The best option is to provide us with the registration form to gain a spot on the waitlist and then make contact in August to understand your child's enrolment position.

We will commence our enrollment process for our returning children in July, by August we will have an understanding of how many new positions we have available to offer, this will be when we make contact with the waitlist children.
