Bimbi preschool
Why choose our public preschool?
Our public preschool is a fee-free preschool at Red Hill Public School. It’s an easy choice for local families with young children.
Bimbi Preschool is located in the grounds of Red Hill Public School and is open to children turning 4yrs before 31st July, the year before they attend primary school.
We give every child the start in early childhood education. At our preschool, children explore, ask questions and grow in a safe and caring place. Our friendly team helps each child learn and feel good through fun, hands-on play that builds confidence and curiosity.
We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our preschool. Contact us to talk to our team, book a tour or join our waitlist.
There are currently two sessions - Monday and Tuesday or Thursday and Friday, with an alternating Wednesday.
Bimbi Preschool is the only Department of Education Preschool in Wagga Wagga which places us with the unique ability to support the children of Bimbi to achieve a smooth transition to primary school, as they are already a part of the vibrant and positive school community at Red Hill Public School.
Bimbi Preschool embraces the Early Years Learning Framework as a part of the National Quality Framework. At Bimbi we believe children learn best through well planned and supported play, based on the interests and emerging skills of the children. Bimbi children learn in our well resourced classroom and our large creative outdoor garden. Experienced and qualified Early Childhood Professionals deliver our innovative preschool program.

What can you do at home to support you child's early learning?
Here are some ideas:
This set of cards has been developed to help you support young children in learning to read, write and do maths. They are the result of careful research into how young children learn.
The cards show how literacy and numeracy are developed through simple family activities, and how these link to later learning at school.
Preschool days and hours
There are currently two sessions - Monday and Tuesday or Thursday and Friday, with an alternating Wednesday.
Fees
We do not charge fees to attend our preschool. NSW public preschools are funded by the NSW government.
Attendance
Public preschools enrol children for one year only, the year before they start school.
Children can enrol from the beginning of the school year if they turn 4 years of age before 31 July that year.
Meals
Children bring their own meals and snacks to preschool. For more information, please contact us.
How to enrol
Unlike NSW public schools, there are no intake areas for public preschools. Enrolment is on application only.
Enrolling in a preschool within a school does not guarantee a place at that school for Kindergarten.
