From the Clackclose Pre-School
When Clackclose Pre-School first opened its doors in 1971, it was a playgroup operating out of a mobile home on Paradise Road.
We moved to the upper site of Clackclose Primary School and changed our name to Clackclose Pre-School in 1995.
In September 2015 the Pre-School expanded into a second classroom.
Clackclose Pre-School is a registered charity.
Children from 2 years old until school age have their requirements met by the pre-school.
We have two classrooms: one is for kids 2 to 3 years old, and the other is for kids 3 and older.
The operation of the Pre-School is overseen by an elected committee.
The Pre-School cannot open without a committee.
They are chosen by parents throughout the fall term.
Being on the committee is a tremendously essential position since it allows you to learn how the Pre-School is conducted and to interact with other parents through social and fundraising events.
Ask for more information if you're interested in joining the committee.
The staff at Clackclose Preschool is dedicated to preserving and advancing the wellbeing of children and adolescents, and we anticipate that all other professionals, parents, and caregivers will have similar values.
All students, employees, and volunteers at Clackclose Pre-School are intended to have equal access to opportunities.
We want to make sure that everyone has an equal opportunity to work in or volunteer at our pre-school.
