["(a)","The preschool starting age varies across jurisdictions. Refer to table 3A.1 for more information. Differences in school starting age and years of schooling across jurisdictions may affect the proportion of children in preschool services."]
["(b)","Data may not be strictly comparable over time or between jurisdictions. See source tables for footnotes."]
["(c) ","There is some double counting of children in NSW, Queensland and WA because some children moved in and out of the preschool system throughout the year and some children accessed more than one sessional program. As a result, the number of children reported in preschool exceeds the number of children in the target population. The potential for double-counting is reduced in Victoria, SA, Tasmania, the ACT and Queensland (from 2008-09) because a snapshot is used for each year’s data collection."]
["(d)","NSW data include children aged 4 years to 5 years, 11 months enrolled in and attending licensed State funded preschool programs or licensed state funded preschool programs in Long Day Care Centres. Children attending unfunded preschools or unfunded preschool programs in other licensed children’s services in NSW cannot be discretely counted and are excluded. NSW data include preschools managed by the NSW Department of Education and Training and the NSW Department of Education and Communities."]
["(e)","Victorian data include some children attending funded preschool services conducted in centre-based long day care centres and independent schools. For 2011-12, ages of children are based on date of birth data collected in April 2012. In Victoria, 3-4 per cent of children each year are assessed as being eligible for a second year of funded kindergarten and therefore entry into the first year of school is delayed. Through the Early Start Kindergarten Initiative, Victoria also provides state funding for three year old Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children and three year old children known to Child Protection to access a free kindergarten program of up to 10.75 hours per week. These children are reported as '3 year olds' in the 2011-12 data. "]
["(f)","Queensland data include Indigenous Preprepatory and community Kindergarten services. Data for kindergarten services in 2008-09 are not comparable to data for previous years as these data relate to children attending in the census week, where previous years were enrolment data. The majority of kindergarten services changed staff-to-child ratios from 1:12 to 1:11 in 2008, resulting in fewer places being available. 2010 and 2011 data for Queensland relate to children in Indigenous Preprepatory programs and services funded under the Queensland Kindergarten Funding Scheme."]
["(g)","From 2009-10, WA children enrolled in preschool in the year prior to fulltime school include all children in Government schools that are part time (regardless of age). The majority of these are 4 year olds. The non-government schools include all students in a precompulsory program that are 4 years old or younger (regardless of fulltime/part time status). "]
["(h)","Data for SA exclude children in non-government preschools. 2010-11 data on children enrolled in preschool in the year before full time school include only 4 and 5 year old children enrolled in in state funded preschool services."]
["(i)","Percentages are distorted by the data for estimated residential population being six months out of sequence with the data for children using State Government funded and/or provided preschool services in year before full time school. Year before full time school includes a significant number of non-4-year-olds."]
["(j)","For ACT, children enrolled in preschool in the year prior to full time school in 2010-11 relates to students aged 4 years by 30 April 2010. Younger children relates to students under 4 years by 30 April 2010. Total Children exclude duplicates and include special schools. For other age categories reported, data relate to age at 1 July 2010."]

["(l)","Data for Australia are the total of all States and Territories for which data are available."]
["(m)","The data for 'All preschool children' may exceed the sum of children enrolled in preschool in the year before full time school and younger children in preschool. This occurs because some older children in preschool are excluded from the year before full time school data presented in this table."]

["(c)","Due to the integrated nature of early childhood education and care in NSW, many children undertaking a preschool program do so in a long day care setting. In fact, the majority of preschool services in NSW are delivered by Long Day Care centres. This report classifies the services provided by Long Day Care centres as ‘childcare services’ as opposed to ‘preschool services’, and also makes a distinction between service providers funded at state and/or commonwealth level. As a result, there is a significant undercount in the number of NSW children participating in preschool programs in this Report as the majority of preschool services in NSW are delivered by Long Day Care centres and the majority of these are licensed but not funded by the state government. Due to the underrepresentation of NSW preschool service provision in this report, NSW data are not comparable with other jurisdictions and any inter-jurisdictional comparisons should be made with caution.

For Occasional care, NSW did not collect these data in 2011-12 and the figure of 16 is an estimate. NSW does not fund any outside school hours care. For preschools, the count is based on preschool services operating more than 6 hours a day. Previous reporting was based on the overall operating hours of a preschool service (data was sourced from the general licensing system). The 2011-12 count is based only on the core preschool contact hours (data are sourced from the Children's services annual data collection for community funded preschools and DEC Preschool Mid-Year Census for government preschools)."]
["(c) ","Victoria and the NT do not collect data on non-standard hours of care."]
["(d)","In Queensland, child care data are based on an annual voluntary census, and response rates are variable by service type and over time. Data for preschools relate to average hours for which C&K community kindergarten services operate and estimates of attendance for Indigenous Community Pre-Preparatory."]
["(e)","In SA, preschools are encouraged to offer back-to-back preschool services to assist parents in country locations who would otherwise be unable to access preschool. The take-up rate is most significant in country locations where to limit access to one session per day over four days per week would make it impractical for children who travel long distances. In these situations children generally access their preschool entitlement of four sessions over two days as opposed to the usual four half days."]
