Our Preschool

Welcome to the Soldiers' Settlement Public School Preschool Community

Our Preschool provides that important first step in your child's education, which sets the pathway to learning and brings a sense of belonging to the wider school community. Through ongoing links and transition programs with our K-6 school, your child will be a part of our positive school community. We look forward to an exciting, challenging and rewarding learning journey with your child

We give every child the start in early childhood education. At our preschool, children explore, ask questions and grow in a safe and caring place. Our friendly team helps each child learn and feel good through fun, hands-on play that builds confidence and curiosity.

Enrolments for 2026

Our enrolments for 2026 open on Monday 12th May, 2025. Enrolment packs may be collected from the school office.

Department of Education Preschools provide educational programs for children for one year prior to enrolment in Kindergarten.

Public preschools enrol children for one year only, the year before they start school. Children can enrol from the beginning of the school year if they turn 4 years of age before 31 July that year.

Soldiers’ Settlement Public School's enrolment applications consistently exceed the available positions so it is important to note that placement is not guaranteed.

Every application received is reviewed individually, prioritised based on the eligibility criteria contained in the preschool's Enrolment Policy and not in order of applications received.

Preschool days and hours

Our preschool is open for 6 hours a day, on the same days as all NSW public schools. Our preschool hours are 9am to 3pm.

Fees

We do not charge fees to attend our preschool. NSW public preschools are funded by the NSW government (as at December 2025)

Meals

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