What is Kindy?

Kindergarten, known as kindy, is a part-time educational program for children in the year before Prep (the first year of school in Queensland). Kindy is a place where your child will learn through play experiences and interactions that support their early learning, wellbeing and development. By participating in kindy, children develop a love of learning and are supported with their transition to Prep. Queensland Government-approved kindy programs are delivered by a qualified early childhood teacher. Kindy programs can be offered at early childhood education centres; selected rural and remote and other selected state schools where there have been barriers to access kindergarten; and by distance education or eKindy for some children who cannot access a centre.

Learning at Kindy

Kindy provides young children with opportunities to:

• use language to communicate ideas, feelings and needs
• make friends, interact and cooperate with others
• identify issues and develop problem solving skills
• become more confident and independent in their abilities
• connect with, explore and contribute to their world
• build their knowledge and explore new ideas, helping to build their confidence.
