Preschool enrolment

Preschool is a Department for Education early learning program which offers a total of 600 hours (15hrs per week), to 4 year old children in their year prior to commencing school.

All children will be eligible for 4 terms of preschool before starting school.  Schools will also provide both term 1 and term 3 intakes as of 2024.

A registration of interest form is the first step in securing your child’s enrolment:  https://www.education.sa.gov.au/sites/default/files/preschool_registration_interest_form.pdf
