Flying Start 3 year old Preschool

Giving Children the Best Possible Start

Marino Early Learners is proud to be a Flying Start Preschool partner, delivering the South Australian Government’s Flying Start Preschool Program from Term 1, 2027.

Flying Start is a play-based preschool program designed for three-year-old children and led by degree qualified Early Childhood Teachers. The program provides up to 15 hours of preschool per week, helping children develop the skills, confidence and foundations they need for future learning and success.

This important initiative aims to improve access to high-quality early childhood education and ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive during their most important years of development.

Why Early Childhood Education Matters

Research consistently shows that children’s early years are critical for learning, development and wellbeing. High-quality early childhood education supports children’s social, emotional, cognitive and language development while fostering curiosity, resilience, confidence and a lifelong love of learning.

At Marino Early Learners, our educational programs are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and delivered through meaningful play-based experiences that support each child’s individual interests, strengths and developmental needs.

Why Marino Early Learners Was Selected

Our selection reflects our long-standing commitment to excellence in early childhood education. Marino Early Learners has long been providing three registered Early Childhood Teachers on-site, far exceeding the required one teacher, this has enabled us to build a strong reputation for providing high-quality learning experiences that support children’s development, wellbeing and school readiness.
