Bunyips Pre School

Child Care lists Bunyips Pre School in Harden, who continued to provide excellent After School Care care, education and support for the children and their families of Harden Australia.

Bunyip  Pre-school was originally built by Apexians in 1967 and  became incorporated in December 1988.  The pre-school was then renovated and the second unit added in 2002 with the first year of operation in 2003.  This was funded by The Geoffrey Kruger trust and Department of Regional Solutions. Extension of verandah and the Covered Outdoor Learning Area took place in 2006 funded by The Geoffrey Kruger Trust and The Department of Sport and Recreation.  Large climbing area sails were funded by the ‘Friends of Bunyip’.

Up to 26th November 2007 Bunyip had been a straight 2 unit Pre-School catering for up to 39 children daily between the ages of 3-6 years old.  At this time the Long Day Care Centre in town closed and therefore the Pre-school became the sole multipurpose centre catering for the long day care needs and still keeping the Pre-school section.  This was still licensed by the Department of Community Services.
