Beerwah & District Kindergarten provides a high quality kindergarten program in a caring, play-based environment.
Beerwah Kindy is an affiliated Lady Gowrie Community Kindergarten. We have an excellent reputation for providing high quality early childhood education and care. We are located in Beerwah on the Sunshine Coast and have an established history in the local community stretching back over fifty years.
Our Kindy is a community based, not for profit association providing a nurturing and educational experience for children in the year before they attend Prep. It is a place where children and families can learn, grow and unite.
