Welcome to Moss Vale Public Preschool

April 2026 Update

We are thrilled to share exciting news! Construction for our new public preschool will start in the next few weeks! Moss Vale Public Preschool will be located at Moss Vale Public School and will help to strengthen children's learning journey across our school community.

About Our Preschool

Our public preschool will soon welcome children into a supportive, play-based learning environment within our P-6 school community. Children will explore, ask questions and learn through play, strengthening their curiosity and love of learning in a nurturing environment.

Children will engage in thoughtfully designed play-based experiences with our qualified educators. Our public preschool will be an approved early childhood education and care service.

Our Preschool Program

Our preschool program will:

• Support children's learning, development and wellbeing through offering quality play-based learning programs for 5 days a fortnight in the year before Kindergarten, to support children's transition to primary school
• Strengthen children's confidence as learners in the year before school
• Extend and enrich each child's learning, development and wellbeing
• Operate under the National Quality Framework

How Our Preschool Will Operate

• Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 3:00pm
• Closed during school holidays and public holidays
• Each preschool class will enrol up to 20 children per day
• There will be two classes in our preschool
• The child to staff ratio is 10:1, and every class is staffed with a university trained early childhood teacher and a suitably trained School Learning Support Officer (SLSO) to ensure high-quality delivery of education and care

Fee-Free Public Preschool

Our public preschool will be free to attend. Fees are not charged for preschool enrolment, attendance, waiting list applications or specialist programs.

Start Strong funding is not used to subsidise fees at public preschools and may still be accessed by families at other early childhood education and care services.

Enrolment Information

Current Enrolment Status

Enrolment at Moss Vale Public Preschool is not yet open. We look forward to informing families when they can start submitting an expression of interest form to our school office, which is expected to be approximately 6 months before the preschool opens.

Families seeking to enrol their child in our public preschool should contact our school office for more information about our enrolment procedure.

Who Can Enrol

• 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

 Enrolment Priorities

Public preschools prioritise enrolment for:

• Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children
• Children living in low socio-economic circumstances
• Children unable to access other early childhood settings due to disadvantage or financial hardship

No Enrolment Boundaries

Unlike NSW public schools, there are no enrolment boundaries for public preschools. Children do not need to live in our school's local enrolment intake area to apply.

Please note: enrolment in a preschool class does not guarantee a place in Kindergarten at our school. Families can use School Finder to find their local public school.
