Information
Preschool classes are a resource, shared across communities of schools. Unlike primary schools, there are no enrolment boundaries for public preschools. Enrolment in a preschool class within a school does not automatically translate to an entitlement to enrol in that school for Kindergarten.
Public preschools have an obligation to provide education for all children, including those with disability, and ensure every child can participate on the same basis as their peers.
