The Duntroon Playschool was established in July 1992, in response to a Defence Community need for a 3 Year Old
Program. The needs identified by the Defence Community were;
* recognition of the impact of mobility on social opportunities for children in the year before they started preschool,
* the need for a service that would be accessible to service families without competing with civilian families for a place
on waiting lists,
* to provide social contact opportunities for new families moving into the Canberra area, and
* to provide resources and information to families.

The Duntroon Playschool is an early childhood program licensed by the A.C.T. Department of Disability, Housing and
Community Services. The Playschool program is a non-profit community service, run by the Duntroon Community
Centre Inc and offers a play based, child centred program in a caring and nurturing environment supported by a
qualified teacher and assistant. The Playschool offers indoor and outdoor play times, music, dance, language and story
experiences.

To be eligible, children must be three years old. Whilst preference is given to children of Defence families, we are able
to accept enrolments from the general community when vacancies exist. The Duntroon Playschool Placement policy
details how placement priorities are allocated.

The Playschool operates Monday to Friday, 9.30am - 12.30pm, during A.C.T. school terms. Up to twenty children are
enrolled in each session.
