Your Guide to Free Kindy in Queensland

May 21, 2025

There’s still time to enrol your child in a FREE Kindy program for 2025 at canopy

Kindy is a government-approved early learning program for children in the year before they start Prep—and it’s now free for eligible families in Queensland.

At canopy Early Education, we provide 15 hours of free kindy each week, delivered across 5 days by a qualified early childhood teacher. Our kindy program supports your child’s development through fun, play-based learning that builds social skills, confidence, independence, and a love of learning.

Children in Kindy benefit from:

• Making friends and learning to work with others

• Developing language, problem-solving, and communication skills

• Becoming confident, curious, and ready for Prep

We also offer flexible care options outside the 15 funded hours. These may be partly covered by the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), depending on your family’s eligibility.
