Our preschool

Why choose our public preschool?

Our public preschool is a fee-free preschool at Hume Public School. It’s an easy choice for local families with young children.

Hume Public School Preschool enrols children for one year only – the year before they start kindergarten.

Children can enrol from the beginning of the school year if they turn 4 years old on or before 31 July that year.

Please be advised that the expression of interest does not guarantee your child a position in preschool as the preschool enrolments are offered in the following order in accordance with Department of Education guidelines with priority given to:

Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander children
Children living in low socioeconomic circumstances
Children are unable to access other early childhood services due to disadvantages or financial hardship.

We will then offer enrolment in the following order (after the above priorities):

Children living within the school's enrolment area
Children living outside the school's enrolment area whose siblings already attend the school
Other children from outside the school's enrolment area.

We give every child the start in early childhood education. At our preschool, children explore, ask questions and grow in a safe and caring place. Our friendly team helps each child learn and feel good through fun, hands-on play that builds confidence and curiosity.

Preschool days and hours

The Preschool operates two groups on a two week rotating schedule during the NSW school term. Our groups are called Adventurers and Explorers. The children attend 30 hours a fortnight as laid out below.

Adventurers:

Week A: Monday, Tuesday : 9:00am - 3.00pm

Week B: Monday - Wednesday: 9:00am - 3:00pm

Explorers:

Week A: Wednesday - Friday: 9.00am - 3.00pm

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.
