Our Story
Opened in 1979, Springdale Heights Pre-School has been educating hundreds of children in the Albury, Wodonga and surrounding regions for over 40 years.
We’re conveniently located 2 minutes from the freeway, less than a minute from the nearest primary school, less than 5 minutes from most of Thurgoona and Lavington, close to shops, a chemist and other family friendly amenities.
Located on a large site, our tree-lined neighbourhood close to parks and recreational facilities makes a naturally beautiful environment for your children to be engaged.
Our indoor area flows easily to our landscaped outdoor facilities, including an open grassed area, a large undercover sand pit, a Balinese style shelter, a raised stage, a large cubby house, climbing equipment and slides, swings, a pebble stream, a vegetable garden, a chicken coop, beehive, fire pit and multiple undercover areas. All of this is joined by a meandering path that leads from one region to the next.
Springdale Heights Preschool caters for up to 40 children per day from the ages of 3 to 6 years.
Due to high demand, we are currently operating a waiting list for future enrolments.
If you would like your child to be considered for enrolment at Springdale Heights Pre-School, please complete a waiting list form.
