The preschool has been designed to replicate a natural back home garden. We place value as a community on our space and the environment.
Plastics are discouraged within children’s lunches and an active compost system is taught and used.
How
Mt Warning Community Preschool is more than ‘just a preschool’. We strive to create a space that supports families as much as the children that experience our learning program.
Preschool is a space for EVERYONE in the family to create lifelong learning and friends.

Fees 2024
The NSW Department of Education funds under two fee relief streams.
‘Start Strong’ funding program.
‘Start Strong supports preschool education for all children in NSW. It is also the program through which the Preschool Reform Agreement is delivered. The Preschool Reform Agreement supports important reforms for the preschool sector, including boosting enrolment, supporting quality uplift, accessibility to high-quality preschool education and trialling new outcomes measures for preschool’. (NSW Department of Education, 2024).
Through this funding we are able to reduce fees from our base rate to two different rates: Equity and Non-equity.
2024 Fee Relief– Additional fee relief
Families can chose one preschool in NSW to opt in for this NSW Department of Education additional fee relief. Families who chose our preschool for additional fee relief are provided with two fee-free days. For more information, speak with our director or administrator, or click on the link below:
