At Thurgoona Preschool we provide children and families with a nurturing and supportive preschool education and care, that enables them to experience 'Belonging, being and becoming'. We understand that early childhood is a vital period in children's learning and development and provide opportunities to maximise children's potential and develop a future success in learning.
We pride ourselves on our beautiful natural environments, both indoors and outdoors. We are fortunate to have a vast array of natural and educational resources. Our educators are always on the lookout for innovative ideas and resources to add to our programs and environments, e.g. Our qualified, dedicated and experienced educators develop and implement a quality preschool program based on the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia.

Once your child's name has been entered on the waiting list it is your responsibility to ensure the director is advised of any change of address, telephone number or temporary absence to avoid missing out on an offer of enrolment. If you wish to remove your child's name from the waiting list, please inform the Preschool.

Report
This pre school costs more than others in the area and provides a below standard early education compared to other preschools. Their unwillingness to discuss issues and listen to concerned parents that aren't on the "committee" was worrying. Our child so far has had more progression back in a daycare than here.
Highly recommended that you investigate other preschools and options before going here.
