Our Organisation

Upon enrolment, families pay an association fee ($10), enabling them to become a member of Concord West Rhodes Inc Association.

Our Committee

A committee of parents elected from the parent body governs the preschool. We are licensed and funded by the New South Wales Department of Education and Communities (DEC) to accomodate 40 children per day. The children are aged 3 to 5. There is a long waiting list for places, which are allocated according to the guidelines. Priority is given to 4 year old children, children of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin and low economic need families according to the guidelines stipulated by State Government funding models.
