What We Do

Early learning in Lavington

Our Preschool Sessions

At Ross Circuit we have 3 classrooms and are licensed for up to 75 children to attend preschool each day.

Each classroom has a maximum of 25 children in the room and all our groups have set days and run on consecutive days.

 

Our staff roster and group structure are designed to have a core number of educators that work with the same children each day, which we believe, enables the children to build positive relationships with peers and educators, continuity for learning from one day to the next and reinforces preschool routines and expectations.

 

All our preschool sessions are from 8.30am to 4pm Monday to Fridays. The session times are the same for our Early Years and Transition groups.

 

All enrollment sessions are 2 days.

 

Our Transition Groups are:

Bluebells

Eucalypts

Jacarandas

 

Our Early Years Groups are:

Banksias

Wattles

Waratahs

 

**** To enroll in preschool, children must be 3 years old before the preschool year starts in February.

 

Please contact the office if you need more information about groups or days.
