Our mixed-age kindergarten room is designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence through play-based learning.
In 2026, our Kindergarten will operate three days per week: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Younger children thrive by learning from older peers, while older children strengthen leadership and social skills in a caring, inclusive environment.
Our educators create warm, supportive spaces where all child’s strengths and interests are valued. Through hands-on exploration, inquiry projects, and meaningful relationships, we help children build independence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning, preparing them for school and beyond.

Funded Kindergarten
Funded kindergarten is available for all 3- and 4-year-old children enrolled at Bug-A-Lugs.
Children attending our funded kindergarten program will receive a subsidy (approximately $80.81 per fortnight), which is applied directly to your account in instalments across the year.
This helps reduce your out-of-pocket fees.
You can only apply for funded kinder at one centre.
Child Care Subsidy (CCS)
Eligible families may receive the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) from the Australian Government.
CCS is paid directly to the service and reduces your fees. Families are responsible for paying the remaining gap (co-contribution). The amount of CCS you receive depends on your family income and activity level.
