Northern Rivers Preschool Alliance
The Northern Rivers Preschool Alliance (NRPA) is a not for profit organisation representing 42 state-funded preschools on the Far North Coast of New South Wales, from Grafton in the South, Tweed in the North and West to Tabulam.
We work together to provide information, support, networking and professional development to staff and management committees; to develop partnerships between preschools and other educational and community organisations; and to advocate for children, families, educators and the management committees of our member organisations.
Our Vision
For every child in Northern New South Wales to have access to high-quality, affordable, well-managed early childhood education and care and for the Northern Rivers Preschool Alliance to be the peak body representing community preschools in Northern New South Wales.
We will do this through:
providing information, support, networking and professional development to staff and management committees;
developing partnerships between member preschools and other educational and community organisations; and
strong advocacy for children, families, educators and management committees of our member organisations.

Supporting Local Preschools
Many community preschool services experience isolation and are struggling with increasingly complex management demands, including reporting and accountability requirements.
They are seeking long term stability and viability, and supports while retaining the integrity and identity of locally managed
community services. The Northern Rivers Preschool Alliance Association Inc. is an association of community preschools that seeks to address these issues and provide solutions to them.
