The national quality rating
How the ratings work, and where we sit
Every centre in Australia is assessed against the National Quality Standard by the regulator. It is public, independent, and the one measure you can compare centre to centre. We are one of only nine of the 96 centres in the 2170 postcode rated Exceeding, and have held that rating since ratings began.
Top of the scale · Everlearn Prestons is here
Exceeding NQS
Goes beyond the standard in at least four of the seven quality areas. We have held this rating since ratings began, and are one of the few centres in the area that have.

Working Towards NQS
Meets some standards, with a plan in place to improve the rest.
Significant Improvement Required

Ratings are published on the national register at acecqa.gov.au and on startingblocks.gov.au, where you can look up any centre in Prestons or Casula and compare it with ours.

The year before school
Our School Readiness Programme
In the year before school, the children work with a qualified early childhood teacher on the skills that make the first weeks of school feel manageable: recognising their name in print, holding a pencil, listening in a group, and finishing a task they have started.
- Early literacy and numeracy through the Early Years Learning Framework
- Independence — keeping their hats on whilst outdoors, applying sunscreen themselves under supervision, and managing their own lunch box
- A focus group educator who greets your child each morning and knows them well
- Learning documented on Storypark, so you can see the week your child has had
Excursions and a gardening and sustainability rotation sit alongside the programme through the year.

From Prestons parents
Everlearn Prestons has been such a positive experience for our family. From the moment you arrive at drop-off, you’re greeted by genuinely warm, happy educators who clearly love what they do. Their positive energy sets the tone for the day and makes it so much easier to leave your child knowing they are in caring and capable hands.
This isn’t a franchise where your child is just a number; the staff truly know each child—their interests, strengths, and areas for growth—and actively support them to thrive. My son has been at this centre for two years now and I have not had a single complaint.
We have two children and have moved around quite a bit, so we have been through several childcare centres over the years. Everlearn Prestons stands out by far. The educators are genuinely loving, caring and passionate about what they do.
Complete peace of mind with the amazing team at Everlearn. The beautiful staff here would always welcome us with such warmth and friendliness. They express genuine care for the children with thoughtful program design to help them learn and grow.
Our son moved to Everlearn when he was 3, from the moment he arrived he was made to feel welcomed and was comfortable immediately. The education received is fantastic, the leaders and educators have very high standards and they do their job with care and kindness.
Everlearn is an excellent preschool with caring and genuine educators who love children. As a parent, I love the structured program which consists of a daily roatation of activities keeping my children occupied while they learn through play.
Both of my kids attended Everlearn Preschool and absolutely loved it. The educators are incredibly caring and genuinely look after each child. You can see how happy they are to come to school.
