School Readiness Skills
Our Preschool Programs are designed to ensure every child feels confident and ready for their next step.
By the time children complete their program, they leave with the skills, confidence, and enthusiasm they need to thrive in primary school and beyond.
Through a balance of guided learning, play, and routines, your child will develop foundational school readiness skills, including:
Numeracy Skills
Children begin to apply early math concepts to everyday situations, demonstrating confidence in counting, classifying, and describing patterns – foundational for school.
Number recognition & phonics
Real-world math (e.g., calendar, time)
Simple measurement and spatial awareness
Sorting, patterns & early problem-solving
Language & Literacy Skills
Children build pre-literacy skills, expand vocabulary, and gain confidence expressing ideas, equipping them for reading and writing in their first year of school.
Letter recognition & phonics
Name writing & early handwriting
Storytelling, vocabulary, and communication
Engage in show and tell and group discussions

Childcare Funding Support For Families
The Government has introduced the 3 Day Guarantee, which provides all CCS eligible families with a minimum of 72 subsidised hours per fortnight, no matter your work, study or training hours.
Oz Education Early Learning Centres offer flexible hours – 9, 10, 11 or full day long daycare sessions to help minimise your out-of-pocket expenses for childcare and save further. If your family is entitled to a maximum subsidy of 95%, your fees could start from as little as $12 a day, depending on the centre.
Oz Education centres in New South Wales are approved for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and participate in the NSW Start Strong program.
This ensures high‑quality early learning is accessible for more families. We’re here to support families and provide the best care and learning for every child.
FAQs
What age can my child start the Preschool Program?
Most children start our Preschool Program around 3 to 5 years old giving them sufficient time to build fundamental school readiness skills through discovery learning and play-based pre-writing experiences.
What's the difference between Preschool and Daycare?
Preschool focuses more on structured learning and school readiness, while daycare provides all-day care with a mix of learning and play. At Oz Education, our school readiness Preschool Programs are part of a full-day early learning experience.
How does the Preschool Program prepare my child for school?
Our curriculum supports your child’s development in:
- Literacy & numeracy
- Social & emotional confidence
- Life skills like independence and routines
Exposure to school-like environments (e.g., group time, lunchbox sessions)
Is the Preschool Program play-based or academic?
We follow a play-based learning model, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). This means children learn through hands-on, engaging activities while building essential skills for school.
What are the teacher qualifications?
Our Preschool educators are qualified and experienced in early childhood education, many holding Bachelor or Diploma degrees. They also undergo regular professional development.
How can I prepare my child for Preschool?
Upon enrolment, you can bring your child for as many orientations as needed to familiarise themselves with their new surroundings, at no extra cost. It’s our way of making the transition smooth and easy for you and your child.
What if my my child cries at Preschool?
As childcare is a new environment for your child with new people and routines, it’s beneficial to attend orientations and start with shorter days in the first few weeks of care. Your child may also be paired with a buddy if they are not ready for a group setting. You are also welcome to call our centre as often as you’d like. We are hear to support you and your child.
How do you support my child’s emotional wellbeing?
We create a warm, nurturing environment with:
- Daily routines and consistency
- Emotion coaching and social play
- Strong relationships with educators and peers
How can I secure a place for my child?
As places are limited, secure a place early to avoid disappointment. Positions will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage you to take a centre tour and meet with our centre director and educators.
