Aspley East Kindergarten is an inclusive and welcoming community that has been a part of the Aspley neighbourhood since 1966, conveniently located between Aspley East State School and Robinson Road Marketplace.
As a not-for-profit community kindy, we put children - not profits - at the heart of everything we do.
Our philosophy prioritises child-led, play-based learning to prepare children for school, with a strong focus on social and emotional development. Families often comment on the warm, homely atmosphere they feel as soon as they step through our doors. We would love for you to join the Aspley East Kindy family!

Experience the Difference of Community Kindy
Community kindergartens offer a more school-like experience, designed to gently prepare children for their transition to prep. With a focus on play-based, child-led learning, our program supports social and emotional growth in a nurturing, comfortable environment.
- School-readiness structure: We follow school terms and hours, children bring their own lunchbox, and stay in the same room with the same teacher each week, building familiarity and confidence.
- Qualified educators: Our bachelor-qualified early childhood teachers deliver a high-quality, well-resourced program with strong foundations in curriculum, routine, and developmental learning, often exceeding what's offered in long daycare settings.
- Learning through play: Children learn best through play. Our approach encourages creativity, independence and problem-solving through hands-on, meaningful experiences.
Queensland Government funds 15 hours per week, 40 weeks per year of FREE kindy for children in the year before they start school. You can learn more about Free Kindy here!

"This truly is the kind, caring and nurturing environment you hope your little one can blossom in with beautiful teachers that become like family ... I admit my standards are high and I'm very picky when it comes to the village that helps raise my children. Honestly, nothing compares to the level of care and genuine investment in my child's development/emotional wellbeing provided by the team at Aspley East C & K ... All of my expectations were exceeded and when saying goodbye to the beautiful team at the centre I may have shed a tear or two ..."
