Why choose Smithfield Public School Preschool?

We give every child the start in early childhood education. At our preschool, children explore, ask questions and grow in a safe and caring place. Our friendly team helps each child learn and feel good through fun, hands-on play that builds confidence and curiosity.

Smithfield Public School Preschool enrols children for one year only – the year before they start kindergarten.

Children can enrol from the beginning of the school year if they turn 4 years old on or before 31 July that year.

Please be advised that the expression of interest does not guarantee your child a position in preschool as the preschool enrolments are offered in the following order in accordance with Department of Education guidelines with priority given to:

• Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander children
• Children living in low socioeconomic circumstances
• Children are unable to access other early childhood services due to disadvantages or financial hardship.

We will then offer enrolment in the following order (after the above priorities):

• Children living within the school's enrolment area
• Children living outside the school's enrolment area whose siblings already attend the school
• Other children from outside the school's enrolment area.

No fees

We do not charge fees to attend our preschool. NSW public preschools are funded by the NSW government.
It’s an easy choice for local families with young children.

How to enrol

Unlike NSW public schools, there are no intake areas for public preschools. Enrolment is on application only.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our preschool.

We are taking new enrolments for 2026 now! Our friendly office staff are ready to help you through the application process. Come and pick up your form today!
