Investing in quality early learning—with support to make it accessible for every family.

At Hervey Bay Kindergarten, our daily fee is $145, reflecting our commitment to high-quality, play-based education led by qualified early childhood professionals. We understand that affordability matters, and we’re here to help families access available subsidies and funding options, including:

Queensland Government Free Kindy

From January 2024, eligible families can access 15 hours per week of free kindergarten for 40 weeks of the year. This applies to children who turn 4 years old by 30 June in the year they attend kindy and are enrolled in a government-approved program for at least two days per week.
This funding significantly reduces out-of-pocket costs and can be combined with the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) for even greater affordability.
