From 2026, between 16 and 25 hours of Pre-Prep will be available statewide to:
– Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children
– children from a refugee or asylum seeker background
– children who have had contact with Child Protection services
– children supported by Early Start Kindergarten or Access to Early Learning in their Three Year-Old Kindergarten year.
Wilson Street Kindergarten will be providing a Pre-Prep program for children from a priority cohort (maximum of 22.5 hours per week).
If you think your child meets one of the eligibility criteria for Pre-Prep, talk to us about what the program may look like for your child in 2026. If your child is currently accessing Early Start Kindergarten at our service in 2025, they are eligible for Pre-Prep from 2026.
