Question 1

What age does my child have to be to attend Kenmore Kindergarten?

Accepted Answer

Children born between 01/7/17 to 30/6/18 are eligible for our 2022 Kindergarten groups.

Question 2

Does my child have to stay for the full hours of the group?

Accepted Answer

No, however normal fees will still apply.

Question 3

If my child misses a day due to illness or other reason, can he/she make it up on another day?"

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, no, as children from the other groups attend on those days.

Question 4

If my child cannot attend the kindergarten for a couple of weeks, do I have to pay for that time?"

Accepted Answer

Yes, if your child has a place in a group, then all fees are to be paid for the full year. Fees are due at the start of each term.

Question 5

My child has not had a sleep during the day for some time, does he/she need to sleep at kindy?"

Accepted Answer

Yes, as your child will be at the Centre for more than 4 hours, it is a requirement that all children are offered a rest time. Not all children sleep, however they all lie on their bed and rest.

Question 6

Can my child start at the kindergarten later in the year?

Accepted Answer

If you would like that place to be held for your child, you are required to pay all fees, even if your child is not attending the kindergarten. Otherwise, you can contact us closer to the time and see if we have any vacancies.

Question 7

Which group will my child be offered a place in and how are the groups decided upon?

Accepted Answer

Kindergarten children are offered a place in entry date order. Any age-appropriate children currently enrolled at the Centre have first preference for kindergarten offers. The groups are filled up as to the chosen preferences of those kindergarten children.   If all kindergarten children on our waiting list have been offered a place, we are then able to offer any spare places to the 3 to 3 ½ year old children on our waiting list. Kenmore District Kindergarten has so far been able to offer places to all the kindergarten aged children on our waiting list.

Question 8

Can I claim any reduction on kindergarten fees?

Accepted Answer

If you have a current Australian Health Care Card for your child, you can receive a reduction in fees, as determined by the Queensland Government through the Queensland Kindergarten Funding Scheme.

Question 9

Are my child’s Kindergarten fees funded by the Government?

Accepted Answer

All eligible children at the centre are funded by the Government. The Centre receives this funding quarterly from our Central Governing Body, The Gowrie. The committee sets fees to cover the remining costs to the Kindy.
