Free kindy at C&K

Free Kindy is a Queensland Government initiative that enables families with eligible-age children access to 15 hours of free kindergarten per week, for 40 weeks of the year.

Funding is available when a qualified early childhood teacher delivers the kindergarten program in a government-approved sessional kindergarten, childcare centre or C&K extended hours kindergarten.

To be eligible for free kindy, your enrolled child must be of eligible age (turning 4 years old by 30 June, in the year they attend kindy). Please check the table to see when your child can attend kindy.

What our families say about C&K

C&K Arnwood Place outdoor space

I can express the joy we see when we pick up our kids from C&K Arnwood Place, they don't want to go to any other place. Educators are wonderful and look after the children.

This is without a doubt one of the most lovely childcare centres you will come across. Bernie is incredibly caring, and we absolutely loved having our son attend this centre. It is a beautiful, quiet centre that cares deeply for their children.

C&K Walkervale has been the best experience! The educators are all so lovely. They get to know your child's personality and work with them so well.
