Free Pre-kindy at C&K | C&K - childcare and kindergarten

C&K has partnered with the Queensland Department of Education for the Great Start to Kindergarten Program. This pre-kindy program provides funding for selected community kindergartens to offer three-year-old children the same subsidy as four-year-old children in terms 3 and 4, 2024, meaning three-year-old children can attend kindergarten for FREE!

Attending kindergarten as a three-year-old can lay the foundation for ensuring success in a range of outcomes, including literacy, numeracy, and social and emotional wellbeing. International evidence overwhelmingly finds that attendance for more than one year at a high-quality kindergarten has greater potential to lift a child's learning outcomes. 

In the Great Start to Kindergarten Program, three-year-old children can attend one of the selected community kindergartens alongside four-year-old children during terms 3 and 4 of 2024. The program provides valuable learning opportunities that extend beyond the home - including building relationships with teachers, making new friends, enjoying new learning experiences, and growing their confidence. Children are guided in age-appropriate learning as they play and learn alongside four-year-olds in a safe and nurturing environment.   

Please find below a list of the community kindergartens offering this free pre-kindy program for three-year-olds.
