Starting Preschool

Starting the early learning journey with us!

The idea of preschool can be a bit daunting for many parents. You may feel like your little one is growing up too fast. Don’t worry! Preschool is a time when your child will have lots of fun with children their own age. Bidwill Public Preschool helps to develop and broaden the way children experience education, encouraging them to become confident, eager and enthusiastic learners who are looking forward to starting big school.

Please access the resources below that can help to ease the transition into our early learning setting.

My New Preschool - Social Story

Starting preschool is a big experience for all children. This social story will help your child understand what to expect at preschool, become familiar with the places around our school and some of the routines and activities that they will experience as they start their early learning journey with us.

Getting ready for preschool

This booklet is designed to help make the start of your child’s early learning journey a positive and happy one. You’ll find handy hints from early childhood teachers to make it easier for you and your family to get your child ready for preschool. It will also reassure you that you’ve made the right decision in sending your child to preschool.

Healthy Lunchboxes

Our preschool staff will help your child during meal times by reminding them to wash their hands. Staff will encourage them to finish their food and not to share their food with friends.

Tip: Pack food that you know your child likes and will eat and help your child learn how to unwrap their food and eat it on their own.

Bidwill Public Preschool adopts the Munch & Move program - a fun play-based program that supports the healthy development of children. Find out more.
