Dubbo Christian Preschool
Director’s Heart
Welcome to the Dubbo Christian Preschool web page!
When choosing a service for your child it is important that you know who we are and what we believe. We are a Preschool that nurtures children through all aspects of their life: social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development, and most importantly, their spiritual development. We believe we are all God’s perfect creation and His word guides us each and every day.
We currently operate three rooms for children aged 3- and 4-years-old. We have dedicated staff that encourage strong foundational learning through a play-based environment. Children are free to choose and extend their interests in a space that encourages risky play while being under the safety of full supervision.
As a director, I am very passionate about supporting and resourcing staff to cultivate a place where children become investigators, use trial and error processes, build resilience and independence as they grow and develop into young people ready to confidently move through school.
Our service loves the inclusion of community. God created us for relationships and we all have so much to offer each other through our gifts and knowledge. If you feel you would like to be a part of our community, why not phone and come in for a closer look?
We look forward to meeting you.

About Dubbo Christian Preschool
Dubbo Christian Preschool is committed to nurturing young children in a biblical foundation. Carefully planned teaching and learning experiences strengthen a rich foundation between home and preschool for our Pebbles (3 year-old) and Prep (4 year-old) children prior to entry into Kindergarten. Our Educators design learning experiences around each child’s interests and with connections to the outcomes from the departmental Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).
At our Preschool, children are taught about the life of Jesus and his teaching for everyone ‘to love one another’. In this way, Jesus is made known to the very youngest of our children and hope is implanted right from the start.
Dubbo Christian Preschool is situated in close proximity to the K-2 section of Dubbo Christian School. This enables Prep children to participate in appropriate community and Kindergarten experiences which assist the transition to Early Stage One. Likewise, valuable information about each child is recorded and conveyed to future educators.
The National Quality Standard (NQS) is a key aspect of the National Quality Framework (NQF) and sets a high, national benchmark for early childhood education and care, and outside school hours care services in Australia. The Dubbo Christian Preschool program has been approved by the Department of Community Services since 2014 as having achieved an overall rating of Meeting NQS.
Our Preschool operates across three classrooms:
Prep (4 year-old program) 2 & 3 day programs
Pebbles (3 year-old program) 2 day program
Preschool operates from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm each day.
