Hi ladies,
DD will be old enough to go to pre-school next year, and as I want her to go through the catholic education system, I'm looking at enrolling her in one of the new early learning centres. We're in Belconnen, so it'll be the one at St Thomas Aquinas.
Have any of you got your kids enrolled there? Are you happy with it?
Also, does anyone know how difficult it is to get a place? I'm guessing due to there only being one ELC for Belconnen, it would be difficult to get into? Obviously, I'll put in applications for the public pre-schools too as a backup.
And, does anyone know if they information evenings? there's nothing on the board outside the school.
Anyway, any experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Fee
