About UsArncliffe Preschool was established in 1949 by local parents, as a not for profit community based preschool. It is administered by parents of children who have been, will attend, or are attending the preschool. The preschool program is implemented by bachelor qualified preschool teachers and diploma trained educators.
Parents of every child enrolled are invited to participate in all of the activities of the preschool. Your involvement in the preschool will be greatly appreciated, will be of benefit to your child and is necessary for the welfare and continued success of our community based Preschool. |
