Questions about preschool

All FAQs
What is the difference between preschool and long day care?

Our preschool program runs inside a long day care centre, so your child gets a full preschool program with hours that suit working families, all year round.

How many days should my child attend?

We recommend one day a week for each year of your child’s age. For example, a 4 year old would attend 4 days a week.

Do you support children with additional needs?

Yes. We work closely with families and inclusion services so every child can take part fully.
