Preschool

ACG Strathallan Preschool Centre provides a quality early childhood education for children aged three months to five years.

It consists of three individual licensed Early Childhood Centres: an Infant Preschool, a Junior Preschool and a Senior Preschool. During these early years, children acquire a variety of important skills, knowledge and attitudes that will affect their ability to learn, their personal development, their relationships with others and their future participation in society. ACG Strathallan Preschool encourages children to see learning as both enjoyable and useful and provides a strong foundation for their future intellectual, physical and social development.

ACG Strathallan Preschool Centre operates as full day sessions for two to five days per week. Our opening hours are 7.30am until 5.30pm with most children attending for school hours.The Preschools are purpose built and designed to cater for the educational needs of children at this age.

They consist of:

• Large inside spaces.
• Cosy sleep areas for the juniors and individual cots for the infants.
• Hygienic changing areas with bathing and laundry facilities.
• An outdoor screened area with safety matting for use in inclement weather.
• The Infant Centre has under floor heating and CCTV surveillance throughout which ensures the comfort and safety of all our children.
