The Bay Preschools are our family run preschools with long day care hours. Home to children aged from 2 to 6 years.
We bring to the community, teacher led preschool early learning for all our children, during work friendly hours. And we provide this with our team that stays with us, giving families much valued consistency of care.
Proudly, we offer this excellent quality of care whilst being more affordable than most of the long day care centres in the area.
Our preschool at Neutral Bay has been part of community for over 35 years. In March 2019, with the original owner and centre manager both retiring, the running of the centre passed to myself, Laura as director, and my husband who supports our office activities.
Most importantly, we celebrate every child’s individuality and look to build confidence, independence and creativity throughout their early years.
We are proud of our School Readiness Program – our Early Childhood Teachers create a rich and diverse curriculum for our preschoolers, ensuring the transition to school is as gentle as possible.
