Preparing for kindy is a big step for families! Preparing for kindy is a big step for families! 

Is your child starting kindy in 2026? Now's the perfect time to start preparing! 

Transitioning to kindy is an exciting milestone for families. Establishing routines and providing positive experiences now can help your child feel confident and ready for this new adventure.

Some helpful tips:
1. Practice morning routines
2. Read together daily
3. Encourage independence with self-care tasks
4. Talk positively about kindy
5. Visit the centre if possible to familiarise them with the space

Remember, every child's journey is unique. If you have questions about kindy readiness or enrolment, our educators are here to support you through this exciting milestone.
The wonder in a child's eyes when they discover so The wonder in a child's eyes when they discover something new—that's the magic we witness every day. 

Whether it's mixing colours for the first time, watching a plant grow, or figuring out how to build a taller tower, these moments of discovery shape how children see and understand their world.

Our educators thoughtfully create spaces where imagination flourishes and every child's unique potential can shine.
Lee Gane, of Lady Gowrie Qld, met up with QUT’s Lee Gane, of Lady Gowrie Qld, met up with QUT’s Susan Irvine, previous CEO of Lady Gowrie Qld, at last week’s Children’s Week launch. The event was held to celebrate the release of new resources about children’s rights. These resources were created with children, for children, and encourage them to understand and speak up about their rights.

Tania Porter from the Qld Department of Education announced funding of the resources, ensuring they are available across Queensland’s children’s services. It marks a meaningful step toward strengthening children’s voices, agency, and rights.

We are a not for-profit organisation providing high quality childcare and Kindergarten programs, with a strong heritage in early childhood education in Queensland and Australia.

The Brisbane Lady Gowrie Childcare Centre was established in 1940 as a demonstration centre for excellence in early childhood education and care. We continue to be Qld’s leading provider of Community Kindergarten and Long Day Care services and uphold the highest standards in childcare.

Lady Gowrie QLD acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands on which our Kindergarten and childcare services are placed, and pay our respects to the elders, past and present, who have raised children, taught them about the world around them and bestowed on them the gift of culture and language.
