Early Entry (Pre-Kindergarten)

Mosman Prep’s Early Entry (Pre-Kindergarten) program provides unique opportunities to ignite a love of learning in the critical early years before your son starts school. Our transition to Kindergarten and School Readiness programs provide confidence and firm foundations enabling him to thrive in his learning journey.

We know from research that our most important learning occurs during the crucial early years of life. Foundational learning skills and habits, emotional maturity and strong self-esteem are shaped significantly in these formative years. Mosman Prep’s Early Entry program provides a balance of foundational skill development through direct instruction, and opportunities to explore, develop their imagination, and have their curiosity provoked, in a caring and engaging environment.

With the flexibility of a 3-day or 5-day program, Early Entry lays valuable foundations for meaningful academic, physical, social, emotional and spiritual development while children are most receptive to growth. It is an ideal transition for boys who have outgrown day care or preschool but are not quite ready for Kindergarten. 

Early Entry is open to boys who turn four by 31 March of the entry year. Operating hours are 8am - 3pm during NSW Independent School Terms. After school care is available onsite until 6:00pm.
