Bundara Kindergarten
A friendly hello from Bundara Kindergarten! We are a not-for-profit community Kindergarten nestled among the gumtrees in the suburb of Frenchville in Rockhampton. We first opened our doors in 1972 and have been welcoming families ever since. We'd like our families to view Bundara Kindergarten as an extension of their home and we actively encourage families to be involved with all our events and activities. On kindergarten days at Bundara, your child will have the opportunity to explore, experiment, observe, imitate and discuss. Bundara offers ample off street parking, and arrivals/departures are an easy process as we are not attached to a primary school. We are however located in a close proximity to many of Rockhampton's leading primary schools. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming your family soon.
