Free Kindy Queensland

Free Kindy at Cornubia Park

Thanks to the Queensland Government’s Free Kindy program, eligible children can access a full kindergarten program at Cornubia Park at no cost — 15 hours per week, for up to 40 weeks a year (600 hours) — delivered by a qualified early childhood teacher and woven through our nature-based, Reggio Emilia-inspired program.

Is my child eligible?

Free Kindy is available to children who are at least 4 years old by 30 June in the year before they start school. The program continues for all eligible Queensland families in 2026 and beyond.

How it works in our long day care

As an approved long day care service, we deliver the kindergarten program within our everyday village life. The kindergarten hours are free; any additional hours of care before and after the kindergarten program are charged as usual, and these may be reduced by the Australian Government Child Care Subsidy (CCS) depending on your family’s circumstances.

  • 15 hours of funded kindergarten each week (up to 600 hours per year)
  • Delivered by a qualified early childhood teacher
  • Embedded in our Reggio Emilia and Nature Play program
  • Wrap-around care available, with CCS applied where your family is eligible
