Program Groups

We have four Kindy groups that consist of two five day fortnight groups, a two day group with longer hours and a three day group.

Children share the Kindy year with the same 22 children, teacher and educator. This consistency allows the children to feel a sense of belonging and connection with their peers and staff. We follow the QLD school term calendar.
