Our preschool

Preschool hours and classes

Our preschool will operate the same days and hours as our whole school. The preschool will not be open during school holidays.

Fee-free preschool

Our public preschool will be free to attend. Start Strong funding is not used to subsidise fees at public preschools and may still be accessed by families at other early childhood education and care services.

Enrolment information

Expressions of interest (EOIs) to enrol at Menindee Public Preschool are not yet open. We will advise the school community once EOIs open.

Menindee Public Preschool offers a unique operating model unlike other NSW public preschools. Our preschool accepts enrolment applications for children from 2 years of age.

Unlike NSW public schools, there are no enrolment boundaries for public preschools. Children do not need to live in our school’s local enrolment intake area to apply.

Enrolment in a preschool class does not guarantee a place in Kindergarten at our school. School Finder can help families find their local public school. For more information, please contact our school office or visit Enrolment in a public preschool page.

Learning in our preschool

Our preschool will be an approved early learning service and operate under the National Quality Framework.

We will provide a secure and positive learning environment for your child. Our learning program will enable your child to engage in age-appropriate, play-based learning experiences. Our program will be guided by the Early Years Learning Framework.

Procedures

There is a range of preschool policies and procedures to ensure children receive high quality education and care. More information will be provided to parents when your child is offered a place.. Please contact us for more information.

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