From 1 January 2023, eligible families can access new kindy savings, making kindy cheaper. This new funding will change the lives of Queensland families by providing access to quality, affordable and inclusive kindergarten programs.

Eligible families will benefit from kindy savings whether they attend a sessional kindergarten or kindergarten in a long day care.
