Awabakal Preschool strives to provide a culturally-appropriate and supportive learning environment where children have the opportunity to explore and experience new things. Our preschools operate at two locations: Glendale and Wickham.

Preschool is a fun place to be for children and our dedicated staff ensure relationships are established with all children and families from the start.

We believe that genuine, caring relationships are the key to nurturing young children's positive self-esteem and identity.
