We are pleased to announce that due to both Federal and NSW Government funding, South Hurstville Kindergarten (Council’s only preschool service) will remain open in 2022. Council is able to provide 15 hours per week of early education at no cost to enrolled families. The new arrangements will be temporary; however, the arrangements will remain in place until the end of 2022.
This service will be open between 8:30am and 4:00pm on Monday Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and 8:00am to 4:00pm on Wednesdays. Preschool fees, as listed below, will only apply to Wednesdays.
Our After Care Service between 4:00pm and 5:00pm will continue but, will need to be pre-booked a week in advance via email.

Providing care and education for 40 children aged from 3 to 6 years daily, during NSW school terms. Our service is funded under the NSW Department of Education Start Strong Initiative. CCS can not be claimed.
Our Beliefs
We believe that children are competent and capable individuals, who function within a socially driven community of family, peers and educators. This belief guides our practice in the provision of a developmentally appropriate, balanced programme which focuses on all areas of development, positive self esteem, social, emotional, physical, cognitive and language.
Our Objectives
We recognise that learning is a life long process and aim to provide an early childhood experience that is positive for both the child and their family within the pre-school years.
