FEEDBACK
The Canberra Preschool Society Incorporated was founded in 1943 to “promote a knowledge and understanding of the preschool child and to further the establishment of a public kindergarten in Canberra”.
The current name of the Society was adopted in 1955 reflecting the expansion of the successful government / community preschool model out into the suburbs of Canberra. The Society is the peak body of ACT Preschool and Playschool Parent Associations. We also have a number of community and early childhood professionals as active independent members.

We are a community organisation - actively supporting our community. We look forward to assisting you throughout your wonderful (and busy) playschool and preschool years!

THANKING ... those who support us:
We would like to acknowledge and thank the ACT Department of Education and Training for their continued support of the Canberra Preschool Society.

We would like to acknowledge our business partner, Admin Bandit, for a long-term, valuable and innovative partnership that has saved many Preschool Parent Association Treasurers from having nightmares about GST and BAS statements!

We would like to acknowledge the valued partnership with Guild Insurance. This year, Guild donated a new office computer (complete with current software) to the CPS. Dianne, our Executive Officer, is still pinching herself to see if she is dreaming! We would like to thank Guild for their continued support and generosity.

We won a 2007 Federal Government Volunteer Small Equipment Grant towards the cost of a new photocopier. We wish also to acknowledge the VALUED and CONTINUED support of Sharp Direct who assisted us in procurring the new equipment.
