Our Preschool program currently has one Monday, Wednesday, Friday spot available for a kiddo 3-1/2 years of age and over

Intake starts at 30 months (for the Tuesday/Thursdays program) and up. All kiddos needs to be fully toilet trained (Occasional pull ups are ok) before enrolment.
Can we tour your facility prior to sign up?
Absolutely, before signing up to any of our programs we always have a meet and greet with potential clients and their kiddos, this gives parents/guardians a chance to have a look around the center, meet the staff, ask questions and for us all to see that it will be a good fit for everyone :)
Do you plan to stay open over the Summer break?
Providing there is enough need for this service, we will be open throughout the summer break.
Can I add my child to your waitlist?
Yes of course.
Do you accept subsidy?

Group care allows us to provide an extra 2 hours each day after the Preschool session has finished. Group Care will be from 1245pm to 245pm each day. This will be open to all families using our Preschool program. This service is not a continuation of the pre school program but is based on free play and is of a less structured nature than Preschool.
