Koori Preschool increased hours


Koori Preschool is a preschool program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children aged 0 to 5 (children under the age of 3 attend with an adult). It provides rich, play-based experiences in a culturally safe environment. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives are included across the curriculum. The program aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework External Link.

Koori Preschools operate at Ngunnawal Primary School, Kingsford Smith School, Narrabundah Early Childhood School, Wanniassa School, and Richardson Primary School.

In 2020, the ACT Government expanded the Koori Preschool program to 15 hours per week (600 hours per year).

Under Set up for Success: An Early Childhood Strategy for the ACT, up to 100 places are available at Koori Preschool for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander three year-olds.
