Data notes

  • In NSW, most children receiving a preschool education or early intervention are enrolled at a government funded community preschool or in centre-based service which offers a preschool program.
  • Children aged 3 to 6 years may be enrolled in a preschool program, although programs are typically delivered to 4 and 5 year olds, on the basis that they will be starting school the following year.
