Operational Information


Session times


Most children attend for 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. For under 4 year olds, it is also important that they come for more than 1 day, as it helps them to feel at home in the new environment.
Kindy children often combine going to the local kindy with 1 or 2 days 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, apart from those enrolled for the Wednesday afternoon session.

  • We are open 41/2 days per week : Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday afternoon, Thursday, Friday
  • Full day : 9:00 - 3:00 pm, children bring their own morning snack and lunch
