Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Community Preschool?
A community preschool is a not-for-profit early childhood education service designed to support children’s learning, development and wellbeing in the year (or years) before school.
At Intereach Community Preschool, we focus on play-based learning that builds confidence, social skills, early literacy and numeracy, and a love of learning. Our program supports children aged 3–5 years and is delivered by qualified Early Childhood Teachers and educators in a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment.
As a community-based service, we are locally focused and community driven. That means:
-
We put children and families first
-
We reinvest back into the service and community
-
We build strong partnerships with local schools and services
-
We create a space where every child feels they belong
Our goal is simple — to help your child feel confident, capable and ready for school.

What does it cost?
How are preschool fees calculated? Preschool fees vary depending on:
- Your child’s age
- The number of days enrolled
- Your eligibility for government funding
What is Start Strong and how does it help? Intereach Community Preschool participates in the NSW Start Strong funding program, which provides fee relief for eligible families, helping to reduce the cost of preschool education. Start Strong allows eligible children to attend up to 15 hours of preschool per week at a significantly reduced cost. The program is available for eligible 3-year-old and 4-year-old children.
In many cases, families are eligible for significant fee reductions.
