  • If my child misses a day due to illness or other reason, can he/she make it up on another day?"
    Unfortunately, no, as children from the other groups attend on those days.
  • If my child cannot attend the kindergarten for a couple of weeks, do I have to pay for that time?"
    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.
  • My child has not had a sleep during the day for some time, does he/she need to sleep/rest at kindy?"
    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. Some children sleep, some lie on their bed and rest.
  • Can my child start at the kindergarten later in the year?
    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.
  • Which group will my child be offered a place in and how are the groups decided upon?
    Kindergarten children are offered a place in entry date order, as per the wait list. Any children currently enrolled at the Centre automatically have first preference of groups. As from 2024, we can offer non-funded 3 to 5 year old children a place in a specific non-funded group. This group will include 3 year olds and any children allocating their 15 hours of funded to another program.
  • Can I claim any reduction on kindergarten fees?
    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.
  • Are my child’s Kindergarten fees funded by the Government?
    The Government will only fund one 15 hour group for a kindy aged eligible child in 2024.
