Guide for use:
Count the maximum hours available that the child is able to attend the preschool program at the service. The maximum hours available to the child may be less than the opening hours of the service, but may exceed the number of hours the child is enrolled for or attended during the reference period.
Non-instructional times such as recess, tea breaks and lunch breaks should be included if the child was under the supervision of the service provider organisation.
Where this data element is not able to be reported accurately at an individual child level, for each preschool program, count the total hours enrolled for the child with the highest enrolment hours during the reference period, and record this total for all children enrolled in that preschool program.
Comments:
This data element provides information on the proportion of children that are enrolled in preschool programs that are available for at least 15 hours per week.
