We operate during NSW school term times, 8:00am - 3:30pm and are closed over the NSW school holidays.

Families can receive Start Strong Fee Relief from one participating Community Preschool or Long Day Care service at a time. It is the family's responsibility to nominate the service through which they wish to receive this funding.
Fee Relief is applied by the nominated service as a reduction in preschool fees.
Please note that Start Strong Fee Relief cannot be claimed at more than one eligible service simultaneously.
