Welcome to our Preschool
Oxley Park Public School Preschool is a Department of Education Preschool providing an educational program the year before your child begins formal schooling.
Why choose our public preschool?
Our public preschool is a fee-free preschool at Oxley Park Public School. It’s an easy choice for local families with young children.
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. Oxley Park Public School Preschool is run by fully qualified Early Childhood Educators and supported by fully trained School Learning Support Officer’s with appropriate qualifications in early childhood education.
We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our preschool. Contact us to talk to our team, book a tour or join our waitlist.
