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.

For clarification, please refer to the Group Calendars available on the parent info page
