Mid-year number of children enrolled in a preschool program that is run by a NSW government school. These government preschool classes provide full-time or part-time schooling at pre-primary level. Data notes

Figures reported are children enrolled in a preschool or an Early Intervention program that is run by a NSW Government school. These government preschool classes provide full-time or part-time schooling at pre-primary level.

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.

From 2022 data that shows less than 10 students is included in the next age category for privacy reasons
