In 2025 & 2026 we will offer the ability to access a third day. This is an optional additional paid day of Kindergarten which will run from 8.30am-4pm on a Monday. Fees will apply.
​
We will be enrolling up to 22 children and priority of allocation will be given to 4YO Penguin families, however enrolments for 3YOs may be possible if vacancies exist.
​
This is an opportunity for children to attend an additional day of Kindergarten at St Mary’s enabling them to build their friendships and develop additional skills in preparation for primary school. The program will be run by a qualified teacher and the session will be play based and focus on developing the needs and interests of each child.
​
Please note, this program is subject to change and minimum enrolments being met.
