Waiting List Information

Children can be placed on the Kindy's waiting list from birth. 

Sherwood Community Kindergarten’s waiting list procedure reflects C&K’s service provision policy implemented as a direct result of the introduction of the preparatory year for all Queensland children. C&K affiliated services will, in most instances, provide one year of pre-preparatory education and maximise enrolment of the target age group. This will be called pre-prep until further advised. 

Eligible age 

Children who turn four years of age by the 30th June in the year they attend, i.e. children in the year immediately prior to the prep year. These children represent the target age group for C&K services. 

Children who turn three years of age by 31 December in the year prior to enrolment may be considered for Early Entry only if:

  • all children in the target age group on the waiting list have been offered a place,
  • vacancies remain available, and
  • approval is granted at the discretion of the management committee.

Please note that children enroled through the Early Entry program are not eligible for the Free Kindy program and standard fees will apply.To place your child on our waiting list for 2027 or any future years, please complete the form in the link below.  The link will take you to our online booking system - Kidsoft.  If you have any questions regarding the online form, please contact reception@sherwoodkindy.com.au.  There is no fee to place your child on our wait list.
