About Us

Building foundations for a brighter future

Our Story

Established in 1957, Scone & District Preschool Incorporated has been a trusted pillar of early childhood education in the Scone community for over 65 years. Our community-based preschool has dedicated generations to educating and supporting children aged 3-5 years through their most formative early years.

We operate as a medium-sized charity organization, deeply rooted in our local community. Our commitment extends beyond traditional early childhood education - we are dedicated to creating an inclusive, welcoming environment that celebrates diversity and honors all cultures.

Located in the heart of Scone, NSW, we have grown alongside our community, adapting and evolving to meet the changing needs of families while maintaining our core values of inclusivity, respect, and excellence in early education.
