Preschool in Croydon
Greenhills Explorers is a newly renovated preschool on Greenhills Street, rated 5.0 on Google by Inner West families. Our structured kindy program prepares children aged 3 to 5 for school, led by degree-qualified teachers within long day care hours.
Croydon's trusted pre school
A school readiness program in the heart of Croydon
Greenhills Explorers is a preschool in Croydon for children aged 3 to 5. Our Pre-Kindy and Kindy rooms run a structured kindergarten program that builds the skills children need for a confident start at big school: early literacy and numeracy, independence, friendships and routines.
Because our preschool program runs within long day care hours, there is no midday pickup. Children settle into a full day of learning and play while parents work, and our Greenhills Street location is easy to reach from Parramatta Road and Liverpool Road.
Our kindy program follows the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), and we are approved for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), so eligible families pay less for quality pre school education in Croydon.
