In South Australia, ‘preschool’ and ‘kindergarten’ are the same. Children can attend preschool the year before they start school. Aboriginal children can access 15 hours of preschool a week from 3 years of age. Children in care or who have been in care also can access 15 hours of preschool a week from 3 years of age.
