Simple and Transparent Enrolment Process
At Pied Piper Preschool, we strive to make the enrolment process as straightforward and stress-free as possible for families. Our community-focused approach ensures a warm welcome for every child.
Eligibility Criteria
Who Can Enrol at Pied Piper Preschool?
We welcome children aged 3 to 5 years old to join our nurturing and inclusive environment. Priority is given to local families residing in Wallerawang, NSW, and surrounding areas. We also consider siblings of current students and children with additional needs to ensure a diverse and supportive community.

Understanding Our Waiting List
Navigating the Waiting List Process
Where places are not immediately available, we have a waiting list. There is no charge to be on the waiting list. You will need to fill out a waiting list form by calling or visiting the preschool. When a place becomes available and you are next on the waiting List (according to the Priority of Access Guidelines) the preschool will contact you. You will be offered a place, but if it is not suitable, please let staff know if you would like to remain on the waiting list until a more suitable place comes up, or if you would like to be removed from the waiting list.
