Approved Kindergarten Program
Approved kindergarten programs are delivered by qualified early childhood teachers and meet strict quality guidelines set by the Australian and Queensland governments. A quality kindergarten program will help prepare your child for Prep.
Kindy-Age Requirements
Your child must be at least 4 years of age by 30 June, in the year in which they are enrolled in our Kindergarten Program. Use the Kindy Calculator to see if your child is of Kindy age.
Queensland Kindergarten Funding Scheme
QKFS Plus provides low or no-cost kindy to eligible families. The subsidy is provided directly to your fees to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.
You may be able to access QKFS Plus* if you:

- hold a current Australian Government Health Care Card (or have a child who does)
- hold a current Australian Government Pensioner Concession Card
- hold a current Department of Veterans’ Affairs Gold Card or White Card
- are a foster or kinship carer (talk to your Child Safety Service Centre)
- have three or more children of the same age enrolled in the Kindy program in the same year
* This subsidy can be claimed once only, even if you meet multiple criteria.
