Start Strong Killara Preschool Funding

Our Killara preschool is proud to be a recipient of the Start Strong preschool funding under the NSW Department of Education’s ‘Start Strong for Long Day Care 2024‘ Program. This funding helps ensure that every child, especially those in their early years, has access to quality early childhood education through a recognised preschool program.

What Fee Relief Covers at Little Leo’s Killara Preschool

At Little Leo’s Killara Preschool, we believe in providing an enriching, all-inclusive learning environment that nurtures every aspect of a child’s development. The Start Strong funding allows us to offer even more value to families, ensuring that your child’s preschool experience is both affordable and filled with enriching opportunities.

Creative Arts and Crafts

Children can explore their creativity with a wide range of art activities, including painting, drawing, and crafting. These activities are not only fun but also vital for developing fine motor skills and self-expression.

Physical Activity

Outdoor play and physical activities are essential parts of our program, encouraging physical development, coordination, and healthy habits. Children have access to our outdoor play areas, where they can engage in games and activities that promote physical fitness through our Rhythm & Roar program.

Music and Movement

At Little Leo’s, children participate in music sessions that involve singing, dancing, and using instruments. These activities help in developing rhythm, listening skills, and coordination, as well as encouraging self-expression and confidence.

STEM Activities

We introduce children to the basics of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through fun, hands-on activities that spark curiosity and problem-solving skills.

Nutritious Meals

As part of our all-inclusive offering, we provide nutritious meals and snacks for children throughout the day, ensuring that they receive the energy and nutrients needed for growth and learning.

Language and Cultural Learning

We embrace diversity and introduce children to different languages and cultures through various activities, helping to build a strong sense of inclusion and respect for different backgrounds.

Social and Emotional Learning

Through group activities and play, children at Little Leo’s are taught to build positive relationships, develop emotional resilience, and understand social cues, preparing them for the social environment of school and beyond.

Excursions

Our preschoolers travel to iconic destinations within 30 minutes’ drive of our centre.

Reading Eggs

Your child will benefit from a FREE one-year subscription before being introduced to the Reading Eggs program in kindergarten. Additionally, they will also have access to Reading Eggs at home to help improve their reading and literacy skills, saving $167.99 per child.

Our Killara Preschool Tailored Curriculum

Our curriculum is designed to support children’s learning across all key developmental areas, preparing them for their future schooling. Children engage in activities that promote literacy, numeracy, social skills, and emotional development. This is all based on the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), ensuring each child is given the tools they need for a successful transition to school.

Tailored for children aged three to six, our Killara preschool program is dedicated to nurturing creativity and fostering essential life skills. Our mission is to ensure a seamless transition to kindergarten while sparking a lifelong passion for learning.

Accessible for All Families

In addition to the Start Strong fee relief, Little Leo’s is committed to making high-quality early childhood education accessible to as many families as possible. Whether or not you receive the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), you can still take advantage of this fee relief, ensuring that no family is left out of accessing our comprehensive services.
To receive this financial assistance, families simply need to complete the Families Declaration Form, available at our preschool.

With the combination of Start Strong funding and our all-inclusive activities, Little Leo’s is able to provide your child with a holistic learning experience that is affordable, enriching, and tailored to their needs. Our aim is to give every child the best possible start in life, building the foundations for their future success and well-being.
