We’d love to welcome you and your child to Wynnum General Gordon Kindergarten. It is important to enrol your child as soon as possible after birth.
What year can my child attend:
Children can participate in a Pre-Prep (Kindergarten) program in the year before they start Prep, at school. This means children must have turned 4 years of age by 30 June in the year they attend kindy at Wynnum General Gordon.
Check the table below to see which year your child is due to attend Wynnum General Gordon.

Currently we are able to guarantee your child a place at our centre from 2027 onwards.

Free Kindy
We are approved to offer Free Kindy to all eligible families
Inclusions
Incursions (puppet shows, presentations, visitors to the centre) are included with Free Kindy
Additional costs
A $100 Confirmation Fee and $25 Membership fee is paid at the time a place is offered to your child. Each family is therefore a member of the Wynnum General Gordon Community Pre-School and Kindergarten Association Inc. and a family member is encouraged to attend committee meetings. You will then have voting rights at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in November.
We also ask families to contribute $40.00 to our voluntary building fund. This contribution is tax deductible.
Additional Funding
Holders of Health Care Cards, Pension Cards, DVA White or Gold Card & ABTSI Origins will be eligible for a refund of their confirmation fee.
Government funding may be available to support children with a disability to access our kindergarten program.
Whilst we endeavour to keep this information about fees and availability as accurate and up to date as possible, it is subject to change without notice.
Kindy Groups
We operate four kindergarten (pre-prep) groups of 22 children, with a total capacity of 88 (44 on any given day). Each group has their own fully qualified, registered Early Childhood Teacher, a qualified Assistant Educator and an Inclusion Support Assistant. A parent is often on roster as well, so our adult-child ratios exceed the national standards.
All the children are aged between 3.5 and 4.5 years at the beginning of the year.
Each group of children is constant, with the only changes being if a family moves and a child is withdrawn. Many long-lasting friendships are formed by parents in these shared circumstances.
We operate a 5 day fortnight for 2 groups and 2 long days for 2 groups over a 40 week year, roughly in line with the state school system.
