The NSW Government awarding contracts to design and construct six new preschools in the region as part of a broader initiative to deliver over 40 new public preschools across Western Sydney.
The preschools—located at Blairmount Public School, Bradbury Public School, Woodland Road Public School, Thomas Acres Public School, Leumeah Public School, and Ruse Public School—will provide fee-free, quality play-based educational programs designed to give children the best possible start in life.
These preschools are scheduled to be operational by early 2027 and are expected to cater to hundreds of local children.
The Campbelltown preschools are part of the NSW Government’s commitment to doubling the state’s public preschools by delivering 100 new facilities by 2027.
The six preschools in Campbelltown will join others across the state in helping to provide access to high-quality early learning for up to 9,000 children statewide by 2027, marking the largest expansion of public preschools in NSW’s history.
The Government's work to rebuild public education includes a record $8.9B funding in the 2024-25 Budget for new and upgraded public schools, including the addition of 100 preschools.
Member for Campbelltown and Parliamentary Secretary for Education and Early Learning, Greg Warren said: “Access to free, top quality, early childhood education is something that will be so valuable in our community.”
“The early stages of a child’s life are critical for their ongoing development. The NSW Government is committed to ensuring that all children get the best start.”
Deputy Premier Prue Car, Minister for Education and Early Learning and Minister for Western Sydney, said: “The Government is on track to deliver the biggest expansion of public preschools in NSW history with contracts now awarded to build 40 new public preschools, co-located with public schools across Western Sydney in areas where they are needed most.
“The NSW Government is committed to improving access to free quality public preschool for our littlest learners because we know how crucial the early stage is for a child’s development.
“I look forward to construction getting underway across Western Sydney and the remaining contracts awarded shortly.”
