Welcome
Biloela Kindy has been helping young children grow since its inception in 1956. Biloela Kindy has held long associations with the general community and many of todays' parents enjoyed their kindergarten years with us.
Biloela Kindy is run by an elected volunteer management committee comprising of parents from the current years parents group. As a non-profit kindy (with all funds being invested back in to the kindy), the kindy relies on this management to ensure the successful operation of the kindy from year to year.
At Biloela Kindy, we offer a kindy and pre-kindy group - for children who have turned three years old in the year before they attend kindergarten.
