What a day looks like
Our Pre-School program is a Queensland government-approved Free Kindy service, delivered by qualified Early Childhood Teachers. It’s designed to build genuine school readiness, not by drilling worksheets, but by cultivating the curiosity, resilience and social skills that make school a joy.
Because we’re a long-day service, your child gets the QLD Kindy curriculum wrapped inside our full 6:45am – 5:45pm day, right through the school holidays. No dashing between services, no juggling.

What makes this room special
Qualified Early Childhood Teachers
The Kindy program is led by degree-qualified ECTs, the same qualification you’d find in a school-based kindy.
Full-year Free Kindy
Eligible families receive the QLD Free Kindy subsidy. We stay open through school holidays with a continuing program.
Genuine school readiness
Executive function, confidence, kindness, curiosity. The things teachers wish every prep child arrived with.

The best way to feel it is to walk it. Meet the educators, wander the gardens, breathe in the bushland.
