Aftercare
Ashgrove Memorial Kindergarten is pleased to provide an Aftercare program to its enrolled children for families that require additional hours outside of the core kindergarten program. Aftercare is not part of the free kindy program and therefore is invoiced direct to families fortnightly. Bookings are available on both a permanent and casual basis subject to availability.
What will you pay?
Ashgrove Memorial Kindergarten is pleased to announce that we have officially ‘opted-in’ for FREE KINDY in 2024. This is great news for families. Kindy is a 15-hour week (or 600 hours a year) government-approved educational program delivered by a qualified early childhood teacher.
Families wishing to access a second non subsidised kindergarten program are requested to contact the kindy directly to discuss fees and enrolment eligibility.
Kindy Association membership fee – $5 per family member, per year.
Subsidies
The Queensland Government provides funding under the Queensland Kindergarten Funding Scheme (QKFS)
To be eligible for QKFS your child must be at least 4 years old by 30 June in the year they are enrolled. All eligible children are entitled to receive the QKFS Standard Subsidy which will apply to one Kindergarten program.
Enrolment Immunisation Policy
Please note that consistent with the Public Health Act of 2005 (Qld), Ashgrove Memorial Kindergarten will accept enrolment but refuse attendance of children who are not up to date with their scheduled vaccinations.
