NSW Start Strong Program

At Oz Education Early Learning Centres, eligible families can benefit from the NSW Government’s Start Strong Preschool Program, designed to make quality early childhood education more affordable and accessible for children in the years before school. The program provides funding and fee relief to support preschool-aged children attending approved early learning services.

The Start Strong Program is a NSW Government initiative that helps families access affordable, high-quality preschool education in the years before children start school. The program supports children aged 3 years and above who attend eligible long day care and preschool services.

The program aims to:

• Qualified early childhood teachers: Our preschool programs are delivered by experienced educators who support every child’s learning, development, and wellbeing.
• Fee Relief for Eligible Families: The NSW Government provides fee relief funding to help reduce the cost of preschool education for eligible children attending approved services.
• School Readiness Program: Children develop important skills including early literacy, numeracy foundations, communication skills, independence, social and emotional confidence
• Long Day Care Convenience: Families enjoy the flexibility of extended care hours while their child participates in a high-quality preschool program.
• Play-Based Learning: Our curriculum encourages curiosity, creativity, problem-solving, and a lifelong love of learning.

At Oz Education, we believe every child deserves a strong start to their learning journey.
