Data Notes:

• Early intervention classes provide early childhood education in a preschool setting for children with a disability.

• In NSW, most children receiving a preschool education or early intervention are enrolled at a government funded community preschool or in a Long Day Care centre which offers a preschool program.

• Children aged 3 to 6 years may be enrolled in a preschool program, although programs are typically delivered to 4 and 5 year olds, on the basis that they will be starting school the following year.
