About our kindy

Welcome to Lutwyche Windsor Kindergarten and Preschool - YOUR kindy! We are managed by the parents of the children that attend the kindy in conjunction with the directors, assistants and an administrator - this is community at its best. We look forward to sharing the fun, creativity, exploration, and development that occurs in these important early years of your child’s education. At Lutwyche Windsor Kindergarten and Preschool we pride ourselves in providing a program that guides and supports children to be curious, capable and collaborative learners.

What year should my child attend kindy?

This table shows the year the Queensland government recommends your child attends kindergarten. Children aged 4 years old by June 30 in the year they attend kindy are also called ‘Eligible age’ or ‘Target age’.

Year born Kindy year
1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 2024
1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021 2025
1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022 2026

Kindergarten Fees

The Queensland Government provides funding to make kindy free for families with eligible-age children (children turning 4 years old by 30 June in the year they attend kindy). The funding is provided directly to your centre, and if eligible, you will not pay any daily fee.

Free kindy is only available for one kindergarten group, so you may have to pay fees if your child is enrolled in two groups. For example:

  • If your child is enrolled in both kindergarten groups at one kindy.
  • If your child is enrolled in two different kindergartens. You must nominate which kindergarten will receive the funding when you enrol.
  • If your child is enrolled in a kindergarten and a childcare centre, you will only receive free kindy at the kindy and not at the childcare centre.

What if I want my 3 year old to go to kindergarten?*

Priority is given to eligible-age children but if there are places available, we are happy to have 3 year old children at kindy and attend for two years.  The subsidies do not apply for 3 year old children, and the daily fee (non-eligible) will apply. Please contact us on 07 3857 2430 for more information on fees for 3 year olds and to discuss your child and your family’s situation.

I have more questions. Who can I talk to?
