In the Heart of the Hills we Play, Learn and Grow
Tecoma Preschool
Located in the heart of Tecoma in the Dandenong Ranges, our preschool has been part of the local community for over 20 years. Once a family home, it now offers cosy spaces for children to explore and make their own.
Our backyard features a sandpit, swings, a cubby house and a beautiful elm tree for imaginative play, while the front garden, fairy walk, vegie patch and chicken house provide quieter areas for learning and reflection.
We are a not‑for‑profit, community‑run kindergarten managed by a volunteer parent committee elected each year at the AGM. Both 3‑year‑old and 4‑year‑old programs are available.
