Walcha Preschool

Walcha Preschool Sign – The Big Chair

The preschool licence is held by Walcha Council and all administration functions are carried out by the Walcha Council. Walcha Preschool aims to provide a friendly, caring and educational environment for children, parents and caregivers.

The Preschool accepts each child and family as they are, and values the individuality of all people who use the preschool. Walcha Preschool caters for special needs, including disabled parking.

A safe, relaxed learning environment for Preschool aged children outside the home creative play that is child focused. By employing trained and experienced staff, programs are created for the individual child as well as the group, with no emphasis being placed on the finished product. It is the ‘doing’ that is important.

Walcha Preschool is in close contact with other early childhood services in the area such as Early Childhood Intervention. Walcha Early Intervention provides family centred individualised educational programs that are child centred and activity based. The programs can be carried out through home visits, playgroup, individual session in the Early Intervention building, preschool integration or therapy sessions.

To enrol your child please fill out the Enrolment Form (PDF) (35.36 KB) and contact the Preschool.  Walcha Preschool Handbook (PDF) (1 MB) is available for your information.  A Permissions form (PDF) (51.45 KB) is also required.
