Days and Times

Our centre is a double unit offering a Full Day program for Kindergarten aged children. The groups operate five days per fortnight from 8.45am to 2.45pm. We have two groups of 22 children each day.

As the Kindergarten is only legally responsible for the children between the hours of 8:45am and 2.45pm, children should arrive no earlier than 8.40am and be collected promptly at 2.45pm.

The centre follows the same term and holiday dates as the State School year but does have different pupil free days.
