The Application Process

Preschool is a crucial foundation for children's development, and we are proud that Rozelle Public School offers a program led by Sandy Dorn-Steger. Under her guidance, children receive supportive and enriching experiences that enhance their social, emotional, and cognitive growth, preparing them well for their future learning journeys.
