Our preschool

Why choose our public preschool?

Our public preschool is a fee-free preschool at Marayong Public School. It’s an easy choice for local families with young children.

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.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our preschool. Contact us to talk to our team, book a tour or join our waitlist.

Preschool days and hours

Our preschool operates from 8:50am to 2:50pm during NSW Public School terms.

The children attend in two groups over a five-day fortnight to ensure each child has universal access to high quality early childhood education.

The children will attend in one designated group with the following attendance pattern:

• Monday, Tuesday and alternating Wednesdays
• Thursday, Friday and alternating Wednesdays

A calendar showing your child’s days of attendance will be provided.

Children can enrol from the beginning of the school year if they turn 4 years of age before 31 July that year.

Meals

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

Parents will be contacted in Term 4 to confirm placements for the following year. Before starting, new families are invited to attend an orientation session and a 'Get to Know You' partnership meeting to help children settle into preschool smoothly.

Enrolling in a preschool within a school does not guarantee a place at that school for Kindergarten.
