Kindergarten Hours

Kindergarten:

Kindergarten is an important early step on your child’s journey through education, giving them the chance to play, learn, grow and develop. From 2014, South Australia will have the same first day of preschool for all children. This will be the first day of term one.

The same first day of kindergarten will mean that every child will have four terms of kindergarten and then four terms of reception when they go to school. It will also mean a more stable environment for children with fewer changes to groups throughout the year.

From 2014, if your child turns four before 1 May, they will start preschool on the first day of term one. If your child turns four on or after 1 May, they will start preschool on the first day of term one the following year. The minimum age for starting kindergarten will then be three years and eight months.

Kindergarten Times:

Monday to Thursday 8:45am to 3:30pm.

A number of special event sessions, including excursions and twilight kindergarten are scheduled through out the year.
