How do I decide which preschool my child should attend?

There is variation in the programs offered and the hours of operation of preschools within Nillumbik. You are encouraged to visit the preschools that you are interested in having your child attend to choose the one/s that suit your family's needs the most. Please phone first for an appointment so that the teacher is able to speak with you personally.

Some basic questions you may like to ask the preschool teacher include:

  • What hours are you open?
  • What session times do you offer?
  • What type of programs do you offer?
  • What level of parent involvement / participation is required and allowed?
  • What is your policy on children with special needs?

 Be prepared that the teacher may ask you some questions, including:

  • What are you looking for in the preschool you select for your child?
  • Do you have concerns about your child that the teacher may need to know?
