Our Preschool
Rocky Hall Pre-school is a community owned non-profit organisation with the best intentions for our children.
Our Philosophy
We strive to provide a childhood service that:
- Covers the full range of developmental areas
- Strives for excellence
- Provides personal attention to each child
- Continually seeks improvements and new innovations
- Non-discriminatory and accessible to all
- Fosters multicultural awareness
- Fosters positive self esteem in a safe environment
The way we work
Preschool hours are 9am to 3pm both Wednesdays and Fridays. Half day sessions are also available. We are licensed for 18 placements, from 3 years to 5 years old.
We also cater for children with special needs, Aboriginal and non English speaking backgrounds.
Program Daily activities include music, group games, storytelling, cooking, painting and craft, games involving taking turns and sharing, quiet puzzles and free play both indoor and outdoor. A familiar routine allows the children to ease into the preschool life comfortably. At the start of the year, time is spent in activities which bond the group together and builds self confidence.
Fees
Fees are based on family income levels. At present our basic session (half day) fee ranges from $4.50-$9.00.
There is also a Material fee of $5 per term and an annual insurance levy of $7.70.
Parents contemplating enrolment are invited to come and observe the way we work.

It is preferred that no commercial pre-packed foods are included in the lunch box.
