Growing together with children and families since 1972
Over the years, we have had the privilege of educating thousands of children from Thornleigh and the surrounding communities. Many of our former students now return as parents, choosing Larool Preschool for their own children—a testament to the trust, care and sense of belonging that has defined our preschool for generations.
At Larool Preschool, we are proud of our rich history, our dedicated educators and our strong community connections. We look forward to continuing our tradition of providing exceptional early childhood education in our beautiful bushland setting for many years to come.

Our Classes
Each child is part of a dedicated class of 20, with the same peers and educators on set days throughout the year, just like school. This consistency provides a comforting sense of security, helping children build strong, trusting and meaningful relationships with their peers and educators.
Children are able to attend one class per week and attend all days within that class.
As a community based not for profit, Larool relies on government funding, family fees and community contributions. We use these funds to pay for our excellent teachers and support staff and for the general operational costs of running the pre-school. Transparent, fair and community focused fees ensure access to high quality early education for every child.
Start Strong Affordable Preschool
We participate in the NSW Start Strong Affordable Preschool initiative, offering up to 15 hours per week (2 days) at reduced fees. Full fees apply for children attending a third day.
Daily Fee : Based on Start Strong subsidy
Activities, Maintenance, Health and Safety Fee : Supports safety and training, maintenance, learning resources and educational experiences (per term/per family)
