Our Program is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, ‘Belonging, Being and Becoming’, and the National Quality Framework where we were rated at the highest level as ‘Exceeding the National Quality Standard’.

Preschool is the preferred year of entry into Lindisfarne. Enrolment in the Preschool program will guarantee a position in Kindergarten. It is an expectation that children enrolled in Preschool will continue to Kindergarten.
Children move to Kindergarten (known as Prep in Queensland) after successfully completing our school readiness screening. This ensures every child has the knowledge and skills to succeed in Kindergarten. Children commencing Kindergarten should turn five (5) years of age by 30 April of the year of entry.
