Enrolment
Entry into New Horizons Preschool is open to all children aged from 3 to 5 years.
Please note that kindergarten aged children are unable to attend New Horizons Preschool as ‘additional days’ to a school based kindergarten program.
Families with kindergarten aged children are welcome to attend Omilea, our kindergarten alternative pathway, which operates from our Battery Point campus only.
Enrolment Structure
Enrolments from 2025 are inclusive of all 48 weeks of preschool operation during the calendar year.
The optional school holiday program, hosted by New Horizons Preschool in previous years, will cease to operate. A new program, Connections will be integrated into our syllabus, and form an additional part of the core curriculum structure.
Our aspiration for Connections is to support children in developing agency, resilience, positive attitudes, values and skill sets within each learning block. Our Connections program supports each child’s right to fully immerse themselves in authentic connections to nature, appreciation of the natural environment, their right to play, to access risk and challenge, to build resilience, and experience the vibrant reality of the natural world.
