Waiting List
Children can go on Lalor Park Preschool waiting list after their 2nd birthday and families are strongly encouraged to register as soon as possible as the waiting list is extensive.
When placing their child on the waiting list families are required to come for a preschool tour of the classrooms and playground, and to ask any questions about the preschool including the children’s educational program, care, safety, inclusion and ways families can become involved. Please contact us to book a tour.
During this tour families will be required to finalise their $5 waiting list fee by paying via eftpos in the office.
By completing a waiting list application and a tour this does not mean the child is guaranteed a position. It is the family’s responsibility to keep the preschool informed of any changes to the information recorded on the waiting list application form.
If families have not been contacted by the end of August the year prior to your preferred year of enrolment please do not hesitate to call or email the preschool.
