Enrolments
​​To be offered a place at Tarragindi War Memorial Kindergarten your child’s
name must be on our waiting list.
Your child’s name can be added to our waiting list anytime from birth. It is
advisable to apply as early as you can as we can only take 88 children

We recommend you add your child’s name to our waiting list before they
turn 2. All children are required to be toilet trained.

Tarragindi Kindy offers a three year old pre-kindy program. In 2026 there are two Pre-Kindy classes the Wattle program and the Gumnuts program. The Pre-kindy programs are a special program we offer to children

FREE KINDY IN 2026
We are a not -for-profit community-based kindergarten, so our goal is to put the child's educational experience first and keep our fees as competitive as possible.
In 2026 all eligible-age children can attend Tarragindi Kindy for 15 hours a week (600 hours a year) for FREE.
​​​
Please check your eligibility for FREE Kindy below:
​
-
Your child must be of eligible-age (turning 4 by 30 June 2026)
-
Only one centre can claim the funding subsidy for your child for FREE kindy.
-
If your child is enrolled in another kindergarten centre while they are enrolled at our centre, you need to choose which centre you would like the funding applied to, to receive FREE kindy at only one of the centres.
-
If your child is enrolled in childcare and accessing a government-approved kindergarten program at that childcare centre, you will receive FREE kindy only at our kindergarten and not at the childcare centre.
If your child does not meet the eligibility criteria above, the non-eligible enrolment kindergarten fee will apply.
