Children in care are now eligible for up to 15 hours of 3-year-old preschool per week.

Quality preschool education gives children the best possible start in life and prepares them for future learning.

Our goal is to support all children in care to experience play-based programs that create a lifelong passion for learning, develop social skills, assist with problem solving and develop language, fine motor and sensory skills.

Enrolments into a government preschool can occur at any time of the year.

Speak to your DCP case worker to discuss the child’s preschool needs and enrolment options. You can find out more information about preschool for children in care on the Department for Education website.
