Our preschool
Why choose our public preschool?
Our public preschool is a fee-free preschool at Dubbo West Public School. It’s an easy choice for local families with young children.
We provide opportunities for both active and quiet experiences offering purpose-built indoor and outdoor areas for individual and group learning. Our qualified and committed staff provide an environment where all children have equal opportunities and are encouraged to reach their full potential.
We value each child and their family and encourage families to collaborate with preschool staff to achieve the best possible outcomes for their child.
We give every child the start in early childhood education. At our preschool, children explore, ask questions and grow in a safe and caring place. Our friendly team helps each child learn and feel good through fun, hands-on play that builds confidence and curiosity.

Preschool days and hours
Our preschool is open for 6 hours a day, on the same days as all NSW public schools. To learn about our preschool hours, please contact us.
Fees
We do not charge fees to attend our preschool. NSW public preschools are funded by the NSW government.
Attendance
Public preschools enrol children for one year only, the year before they start school.
Children can enrol from the beginning of the school year if they turn 4 years of age before 31 July that year.
Meals
Children bring their own meals and snacks to preschool. For more information, please contact us.
How to enrol
Unlike NSW public schools, there are no intake areas for public preschools. Enrolment is on application only. Enrolling in a preschool within a school does not guarantee a place at that school for Kindergarten.
Please contact us for more information on enrolling in our preschool, or fill out the Expression of Interest form and return it to our school's front office.
