Why choose our public preschool?

Eastern Creek Public School Preschool is a fee-free, Department of Education preschool located on Darug land. We offer a vibrant, inclusive, play-based program that nurtures creativity, problem-solving, resilience, and a love of discovery.

Our experienced educators provide a safe and welcoming environment where every child feels valued. Dharug language and culture are embedded in daily learning, and our curriculum aligns with the NSW Early Years Learning Framework.

We prioritise strong connections with children, families, and the community, supporting well-being and confidence. Children are well prepared for a smooth transition into kindergarten and fully included in our school community.

Our 2026 Preschool Parent Handbook contains information designed to enable a smooth transition for both you and your child.

We look forward to building a collaborative partnership with you to enhance your child's time with us.

How to enrol

Unlike NSW public schools, there are no intake areas for public preschools. Enrolment is on application only. Enrolling in a preschool within a school does not guarantee a place at that school for Kindergarten.

To begin the enrolment process, you are first required to download and complete the Expression of Interest (EOI) to Enrol in a Public Preschool form. Once this form is submitted to the school and processed, families will individually be informed of the next stage of enrolment.
