Welcome to Stones Corner Kindy nestled within Hanlon Park and surrounded by nature. Originally established in 1964 under the name Stones Corner-Buranda Preschool and on the other side of Norman Creek in Hanlon Park, Greenslopes, the kindy moved to the current location after the floods in 1974. A name change followed and it saw the now Stones Corner Community Kindergarten Incorporated become affiliated with C&K. We are a not-for-profit kindy run by the families of the current students through an elected Management Committee.
Our centre Director and educators support the management committee in providing a beautiful educational environment for the children to explore and learn within. We promote family involvement in all areas of the kindy and value our connection to the local community. Stones Corner Kindy has provided pre-schooling services to the local area for over 55 years.

Our vision is to ensure each child develops a positive love of learning, care and respect for life, people and the environment.
