Enrolment

Children are welcome to start at the preschool from around 2½ years of age depending on readiness. Readiness includes emotional as well as practical aspects such as being fully toilet trained. Parents and teachers together will ascertain the readiness of each individual child.

Your first step is to complete a Courtyard Application Form and return the form, along with a $25 non-refundable Application Fee. The application can be made at any age. Once we receive this form we will acknowledge receipt with a phone call to discuss your requirements.

Nearing your child's start date, you will be contacted by the preschool to confirm dates for orientation visits. Your child would attend three orientation sessions which are held for a short time in the morning during outside play time. Parents are welcome to attend more than three if they wish, and can commence at any time once enrolment has been confirmed. These visits enable the parent and child time to meet with teachers and settle into the environment. During these visits our teachers will make careful observations to confirm your child's readiness.
