Toukley Preschool Kindergarten Inc

It takes a community to raise a child

Celebrating over 50 years

Toukley Preschool Kindergarten Inc. Is a not-for-profit, community-based preschool established in 1967 to provide quality preschool education and care, preparing children for the transition to school.

We offer affordable, high quality care and education provided by fully qualified and experienced staff.

We are a two unit preschool catering for the early education of children 3 - 6 years. We are licensed to provide care for up to 40 children per day, Monday to Friday, excluding all Public School Holidays and Gazetted State and National Public Holidays.

About Us

Our curriculum is based on the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (EYLF) model. The EYLF communicates the key ideas of Belonging, Being and Becoming through the learning outcomes; children have a strong sense of identity; children are connected with and contribute to their world; children have a strong sense of well-being; children are confident and involved learners; and children are effective communicators.

My son attends the same preschool I went to over 30 years ago! It's nice to see things don't change, a friendly community preschool with great teachers who genuinely care about the children. A fun learning environment with lots of support and provide real, valuable feedback that help us decide on our child's future

We love it at the preschool. The staff are all wonderful, very caring and attentive. We have always been informed of our child's needs and abilities. I love that they structure the program around the children's interests and encourage their strengths and help them with any areas of difficulty. The facilities are great and they have an environmentally conscious outlook. The prices and availability are just a bonus for us. Thank you.

Fantastic Preschool, great staff and comprehensive curriculum. My children were well prepared for big school.

Toukley Pre-School is truly the most beautiful Pre-school that is full of kind, caring staff who value every child in their care. My son loved attending Pre-School and he loved the connections he made with all the staff, who truly valued who he was as a person. Even through the numerous challenges that COVID brought to 2020 and 2021, Preschool was always a welcoming place and the staff went above and beyond to connect with the families and ensure children still had access to high quality learning experiences (whether on-site or through the home learning packs they put together). I was really appreciative of the effort that Toukley Pre-School put into school readiness, while still maintaining a learn through play approach. I think this guidance and preparation has had a positive impact on my son's readiness for 'big school' and allowed him to have a smooth, anxiety free transition to school. I would recommend this Pre-School to everyone and I look forward to my daughter attending here in the future.

We began at Toukley Preschool this year and have loved it. My twins run in excited and come home happy. I have felt welcomed by the staff during drop off and pick up. They are always smiling and happy to see us. I can really see the genuine love each educator has for the children. It is an enriching learning and play environment. The outdoor area looks magical with its nature play design and provides a variety of movement and play experiences. Toukley Preschool takes great care in protecting and supporting the children physically and emotionally through this era of covid. I have appreciated Di the director's open and honest communication through our journey and her commitment to providing excellent care. Thank you Toukley Preschool Team!

I have been absolutely thrilled with my child's time at Toukley Preschool. The team of educators provide an environment that is nurturing, safe & inclusive for all of our children. They are guided by our children's interests & personalities, and develop activities and programs that are tailored to individual children's needs and wants. The physical enviromnent of the preschool is beautiful, and very inspired by it's natural bush surroundings. I feel lucky that my children are able to attend such an outstanding service, helping them thrive at such an important time in their lives.

I looked around all the preschools in the area before I chose to send my 2 children to Toukley Preschool. I have been very happy with all aspects of the pre-school. Every morning that I drop off my children, I feel confident that the staff will look after my children with care and enthusiasm. My children each enjoy their days spent at Toukley Preschool, playing and learning.
