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 preparatory 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.
