HISTORY
Dunedoo Preschool was started in the C.W.A rooms and then moved to the Masonic Lodge. The first teacher was Mrs Corliss, and Mrs Brown became the first Director. The first license was issued in 1973.
In 2009 the Freemasons generously sold the premises to the Warrumbungle Shire Council with the understanding and intention that the Dunedoo Preschool operate with a life-long interest from the same premises. The Dunedoo Masonic Lodge relinquished its Charter in 2010 and their room became available for preschool use. Dunedoo Preschool is truly grateful for this support and acknowledgement.
