Preschool Enrolments for 2027 Are Now Open

River Region Early Education is pleased to announce that enrolments for our 2027 preschool programs are now open.

Our preschool programs provide children with the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in a nurturing environment led by experienced teachers and educators. Through play-based learning, children develop the confidence, resilience, communication skills, curiosity, and social competence they need for a successful transition to school and a lifelong love of learning.

Affordable Preschool Through Start Strong Funding

Our preschool programs are funded under the NSW Government's Start Strong Preschool Funding program, helping to make quality early childhood education more affordable for families. Fee relief may be available for eligible children, reducing the cost of attending preschool and supporting greater access to early learning opportunities.

Priority of Access

In accordance with NSW Government Priority of Access Guidelines, priority will be given to children who are:

• From low-income families

• From Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander families

• Children with disability and/or additional needs

• Children with English language needs

• Children of any age who are at risk of significant harm from a child protection perspective

Priority of access ensures that children who are most likely to benefit from early childhood education are able to access a preschool place.

Why Preschool Matters

Research consistently shows that quality preschool programs support children's learning, wellbeing, and development. Preschool helps children build:

• Social and emotional skills

• Independence and confidence

• Early literacy and numeracy foundations

• Problem-solving and critical thinking skills

• Communication and collaboration skills

• School readiness and positive learning dispositions

Most importantly, preschool provides children with opportunities to learn through play, build friendships, and develop a sense of belonging within their community.
