Guide for use:
This item is a sum of the hours of all children enrolled in a preschool program at this service.
The child must have been offered a place in a preschool program and be actively attending to be counted. A child is considered to be actively attending if they attended a preschool program for at least one hour in the reference period or was absent during the reference period due to illness or extended holiday leave but was expected to return.
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.
The hours enrolled may be less than or equal to the maximum number of hours available for children to attend a preschool program, but may exceed the total number of hours children attended the service in the reference period.
