Please note: In 2025 we are planning to do renewal works at Deepdene Preschool to provide a high-quality early learning facility for our community. During this time, 3- and 4-year-old kindergarten programs will be temporarily relocated to the former Balwyn Leisure Centre at 230 Balwyn Road, Balwyn. Further project details will be available from late 2024.

About Deepdene Preschool
Deepdene Preschool's play-based programs provide a variety of opportunities and meaningful learning experiences for children to explore and learn. It is the way they explore, discover and learn about their world, each other and themselves.
This preschool sees children as active participants in their own learning and recognises this happens best in an environment that provides enjoyable and engaging experiences.
The programs are enriched by a number of incursions and excursions, music, drama, library book borrowing, and a challenging and interesting outdoor program.
Learn more about the centre's programs, facilities and philosophies on their website.
