Dalby Day Nursery & Pre School Assn Inc (Trading as Stuart Street Kindergarten And Preschool)

Stuart Street Kindergarten is a community owned centre, which was established in 1972.

We offer 2 five-day fortnight programs. One group attends every Monday, Tuesday and alternating Wednesday. The other group attends every Thursday/Friday and alternating Wednesday.

Hours are from 8:45-2:45 daily and office hours after 2:45pm. Stuart Street Kindergarten runs during school terms.

Under the National Quality Framework, our centre was rated as "EXCEEDING" the National Quality Standard. Our centre has a stimulating indoor and outdoor environment that offer a range of opportunities for children to learn through play.

 

Vacancies exist for Pre Prep children and a waiting list for children entering Prep in 2023 and onwards. You are able to contact the centre to add your child to the waiting list from birth. Families are encouraged to visit the centre prior to enrolling their child.

 

 

All our kindergartens deliver C&K Quality Kindergarten Program. Kindergarten, also known as pre-prep or preschool, is a program for children who are turning 4 by June 30 in the year before they attend school. C&K’s kindy programs are government-approved and led by experienced and university qualified teachers. Our program supports children’s curiosity, creativity, problem solving, resilience and real-world knowledge and skills.

At C&K we know that children do not learn in isolation, so we approach learning as a collaborative relationship between teachers, eaducators, children and families. At C&K we believe children are powerful learners, active citizens, thinkers and theorisers - this is at the heart of our early childhood curriculum. We've designed our indoor and outdoor spaces to ignite imaginations and nurture healthy minds and bodies. Learning through play is an integral part of our education program. Our educators skilfully enrich and extend on children's play experiences, creating a learning program that is tailored and meaningful for your child.

Your child's learning journey is shared with you via conversations with your child's educators and through written documentation in your centre, and in some centres through StoryPark (an app and website).

Events

Annually, our centre and Dalby Day Care Centre work collaboratively on the children's art exhibition "KAOS". This is held in August. The children visit the art exhibition and the families are invited to an Opening Night.

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 4662 1739 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? 

You can find more information on our Kindergarten Fees page or you can download our Fact Sheet.
