Operational Information


Session times


Children attend for a minimum of 2 full days, which provides the opportunity for regular repetition of skills which have been learned and ensures that they get maximum benefit from the program.
Kindy children often combine going to the local kindy with continuing at Smart Start. This enables them to continue building on the skills they have learned during the previous years and provides them with learning opportunities which will complement their kindy experience.
All children attend for full days.
