Welcome to the Jack and Jill Kindergarten – Hornsby

Waiting list applications are taken from 2 years. We do take emergency waiting list applications for children going to school next year as well as our normal waiting list applications. Placements may come up during the year, and will be offered as per our priority of access guidelines.
Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 situation, visits and tours of our preschool are currently unavailable. Please phone us on 9477 3572 to arrange a "Zoom Tour" or to provide details for us to contact you if / when we can resume tours in person.

Our preschool welcomes children to attend from 3 years old to 5 years old, prior to starting Primary School.
These are:
1. Children eligible for school next year, low-income families and children from Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander background
2. Families where English is child's second language, additional needs children (placements limited)
3. All other children.
Please note:
Start Strong aims to improve affordability of early childhood education and increase the number of children participating for 600 hours in a quality early childhood education program in the year before school. In keeping with this objective it is a condition of enrolment at The Jack and Jill Kindergarten that children not be enrolled in another community based preschool (start strong funded). We understand that families may require additional days of care and suggest they use Long Day Care centres that receive Child Care Subsidy (CCS) as this does not then deny other families an opportunity to send children to our
centre.
