Kindy: building block to a better future

Give your 4 year old the best start in life with a Queensland Government-approved kindergarten program.

Children's entertainer Jay Laga'aia knows all too well the importance of a quality early childhood education. He is supporting the Queensland Government's commitment to ensuring all 4 year olds across the state have greater access to a government-approved kindy program.

"As a father of 8 children, I know that early learning is a building block to a better future," Jay said.

"That's why my kids have all attended kindy. Yours can, too."

"Enrol them in a Queensland Government-approved kindergarten program where they can learn while making friends".

Find an approved kindergarten program in your area, or phone the Kindy Hotline on 1800 4 KINDY to find out more.
