Our Preschool
You’re welcome
It’s our pleasure to welcome you to St Nics’ Christian Preschool!
If you’re a parent looking for the right preschool for your child, it’s possible you’re feeling overwhelmed, or a little confused. Never fear! We’re here to help you out.
The good news is that there are very few ‘bad’ preschools in Sydney! But there are definitely preschools that stand out. They’re the ones with a strong sense of community beyond the classroom, a deep care for every child as an individual, and a passion for helping children grow into the child they were made to be.
They’re preschools with heart.
We like to say that we’ve got a heart for our community, our children, and our God. We say it because we think it’s true.
On this page, you’ll find all the essential info you need to know about St Nics’ Christian Preschool, and you can find out more about our story and our educational programs.

Essential information
We’re a not-for-profit Christian preschool with Long Day Care hours for children 2-5 years old, a block from Coogee Beach.
Our dedicated staff collaborate, learn and grow as professionals to make children comfortable and give you peace of mind.
We operate from 7.30am - 6pm Monday to Friday, 50 weeks a year. No fees on public holidays/Christmas break.
We love our community, and take regular excursions to the post office, local cafes, the beach, and our church.
Delicious and nutricious daily meals are prepared by our on-site chef, free from refined sugar, with herbs from our own garden.
Parents keep up with their child’s daily adventures by seeing photos, videos, and news on our OWNA app.
Enriching learning environments
Learning across two stunning purpose-built classrooms, children learn in a variety of enriching learning environments, including a home corner and library, and areas for creative arts, construction, small-world play and group time.
Children aged 2-3 years old love joining the Smartie Room everyday. In this easy-access classroom, children engage in a play-based education program that scaffolds learning along foundational social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills.
Children aged 4-5 years old are part of the Cookie Room, located in our upstairs space. They engage in exciting and innovative programs that prepare them for the rest of their educational lives. In this room, play-based inquiry continues as preschoolers transition to primary school.
Our bright, multi-tactile outdoor space is the perfect environment for children to play and learn. The area has a sandpit, riverbed, grass and soft-fall, plus a garden brimming with native plants to care for and taste, and a bamboo tunnel, shaded space, cubby house and slide.
