· 1. Enrolment
Enrolment
forms are available from the director during the year. Children from three years of age may attend the preschool. All children should be toilet trained
(contact the Preschool if you have any concerns or questions).
When
the preschool has full enrolment, children’s names will be added to a waiting
list. Parents will be contacted when a position becomes available.
Children attending school in the
following year have first priority on the waiting list. It is the parents’ responsibility to ensure
that the preschool has a current address and contact details.
Contact the Preschool for a copy of the enrolment form to be emailed to you.
