Evatt Preschool
Evatt Preschool Program offers a safe, secure and stimulating environment for your child and our friendly and qualified educators have your child’s best interests at heart. The structured program focuses on education outcomes and school readiness while providing a small group environment with a high educator to child ratio.
Out of School Hours Care
Evatt OSHC provides a safe and caring environment with recreation based activities that allow for choice, spontaneity and flexibility. At Evatt OSHC, our programs aim to celebrate diversity and recognise that play, fun, and humour are vital to school age care. Our educators also recognise the importance of building respectful relationships with children, families, the community and the environment.
