Pre-Kindy
Our Pre-Kindy program is based on the early years learning framework. The program offers fun, educational activities that are developmentally appropriate in a semi-structured form. Pre-Kindy is an opportunity for young children to familiarise themselves with classroom routines. Pre-Kindy provides emotional, physical and intellectual development as well as social awareness and interaction skills. More information about our program is available Pre-Kindy Booklet 2025
Please refer to our YFC Children’s Services Handbook 2025 and our Statement of Commitment to Child Safety for more information on our programs.

Testimonial
I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU for providing such an amazing Pre-Kindy service.
I am a “first time” pre-kindy mum, this whole experience is all new to me and I have been blown away by how well organised and lovely it’s been. My son just attended his first day, the attention given to little details has not gone unnoticed and I just wanted to say thank you for your efforts!
A lovely lady named Jo has welcomed us every time, making us mums coffee at orientation (wow, what a warm hug I didn’t expect!). I noticed how you had extra educators on for their first week and how reassuring that made me feel knowing that there was a few extra hands to help some emotional kids (mine included!). I also noticed some specific owl activities for a little girl who loved owls and was having a hard time leaving her mum and it just made me realise how personal this service is and the genuine care given to the kids.
Even Julie, the lady who does accounts was so welcoming and helped us all to get their little shirts last week, it was a great experience. My child had a great first day and I am looking forward to what this year brings for him. I am just about to enrol his brother for next year!
Thank you for providing such a great service and going that extra mile to support parents and kids transition to pre-kindy!
