Everyone they already know.

Starting Kindergarten is one of life’s big milestones.

At Uniting Early Learning, children can access a Queensland Government Approved Kindergarten Program while continuing to learn alongside trusted educators, familiar friends and a community where they already belong.

Because children thrive when they are known.

A Queensland Approved Kindergarten Program.

Our Kindy program is designed for children in the year before they start Prep and is delivered by qualified Early Childhood Teachers.

Guided by the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline and the Early Years Learning Framework, our program helps children develop the confidence, skills and curiosity they need for school and beyond.

Your Child Will Build

  • Early literacy skills

  • Problem solving and critical thinking
  • Independence and confidence
  • Emotional resilience and wellbeing

School Readiness Starts Earlier Than You Think

At Uniting Early Learning, school readiness is more than learning letters and numbers.
It’s about helping children:

  • Feel confident in new situations
  • Develop friendships and social skills
  • Communicate effectively
  • Become independent learners
  • Build resilience
  • Develop a love of learning

Through play-based learning and meaningful relationships, children develop the foundations that support a successful transition to school.
