Kegworth preschool
Why choose our public preschool?
Our public preschool is a fee-free preschool at Kegworth Public School. It’s an easy choice for local families with young children.
Children learn best through meaningful play, which fosters curiosity, discovery, and problem-solving. Through play, they also learn to interact positively with others. To facilitate this learning, we have designed rich and engaging indoor and outdoor spaces. Our educators empower each child to make decisions regarding their learning focus, the people they engage with, and the areas and equipment they explore. Our preschool’s learning environments offer diverse learning opportunities in science, literacy, numeracy, and sustainability. We believe that children can contribute to a sustainable world, and as educators, we aim to create an environment that is safe, encourages risk-taking, and stimulates the sharing of ideas.
We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our preschool. Contact us to talk to our team, book a tour or join our waitlist.
Preschool days and hours
Our preschool is open for 6 hours a day, on the same days as all NSW public schools. To learn about our preschool hours, please contact us.
Fees
We do not charge fees to attend our preschool. NSW public preschools are funded by the NSW government.
Attendance
Public preschools enrol children for one year only, the year before they start school.
Children can enrol from the beginning of the school year if they turn 4 years of age before 31 July that year.
Meals
Children bring their own meals and snacks to preschool. For more information, please contact us.
How to enrol
Unlike NSW public schools, there are no intake areas for public preschools. Enrolment is on application only.
Enrolling in a preschool within a school does not guarantee a place at that school for Kindergarten.
Kegworth Preschool
At our school, the journey from Preschool to Year 6 is built on a strong and continuous connection to community. Children grow within a supportive environment where friendships, family involvement, and meaningful community partnerships enrich learning at every stage. As students progress through the years, they participate in shared events, cross-age activities, and local initiatives that foster belonging, responsibility, and pride. Our Preschool–Year 6 pathway ensures every child feels known, valued, and connected—creating a foundation of confidence, continuity, and community spirit.
Our preschool garden
Our preschool garden is a special place where little hands learn big lessons. Children plant seeds, care for growing flowers and vegetables, and explore the wonders of nature up close. Through gardening, they develop responsibility, patience, and a deep appreciation for the environment—all while enjoying fresh air, hands-on learning, and joyful outdoor play. It’s a vibrant space where curiosity blossoms and learning truly grows.
Engaging and educational programs
Welcome to our preschool—a place where learning, imagination, and growth come together every day. We believe that early childhood is a time to explore, discover, and build the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Our programs are designed to engage young minds through play-based, hands-on experiences that support cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.
Our dedicated teachers create a nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and encouraged to be themselves. We focus on building independence, confidence, and strong relationships while fostering a love for learning. From creative arts and early literacy to outdoor adventures and STEM exploration, we offer a balanced curriculum that helps children learn and grow at their own pace.
At our preschool, families are our partners. We strive to maintain open communication and a warm, welcoming community where everyone feels connected and supported.
