Kindergarten

Free kindergarten in Queensland from 2024

In an historic step for Queensland education and early learning, kindergarten will be free for Queensland families.

Kindy will be free for eligible-aged children who attend a government-approved program offering free kindy from 1 January 2024.

We know that a quality kindergarten program offers lifelong benefits. Kindergarten participation encourages a love of learning and leads to positive long-term outcomes for children.

Research has shown that early childhood education plays a crucial role in shaping a child's development and preparing them for future success.

Families will benefit from free kindy regardless of whether they attend a sessional kindergarten or kindergarten in long day care. Free kindy is for the 15 hour a week kindergarten program (600 hours a year) delivered by a qualified early childhood teacher.

Free kindy from 2024 will remove cost as a barrier to participation and improve educational outcomes for Queensland children.

The department will work closely with the early childhood sector to introduce free kindy from 1 January 2024.
