Lady Gowrie Kindergartens – Enrolments are open for 2024
Lady Gowrie Kindergartens – Enrolments are open for 2024
Lady Gowrie Queensland’s CEO Louise Jackson knows many new parents are confused about the exact timing to send their children to Kindy, and when to enrol them.
“We see families unsure and confused about what is the right year for their children to start kindy, as it has changed from previous years and possibly their older children,” she said.
“Your child must be at least 4 years of age by 30 June, if they want to start kindy in that year.
“If your child is born between 1 July 2019 until 30 June 2020 then you can enrol for the 2024 year.
Lady Gowrie has kicked off Enrolments for Kindy in 2024 to ensure that the message gets out to the community so they get their children enrolled and know for sure, which year their children can start kindy and when they need to enrol.
Lady Gowrie is one of the oldest and most respected names in early childhood education in Queensland and Australia.
“We have over 110 Lady Gowrie Affiliated Community Kindergartens across Queensland providing services to more than 6000 families and children statewide,” she said.
Louise explains that you can put your name on a waiting list before the children are old enough to attend, and for some services you need to enrol as early as possible due to demand.
“There is a handy kindy calculator on the Early Years count website which gives you a clear indication of what year your child needs to be enrolled in Kindy, Prep and then Year 1.
“We are here to help parents navigate what is right for their child and their family.”
