Gatton Kindergarten Management Committee

Gatton Kindergarten is proudly governed by the Gatton Kindergarten Management Committee and operates under the Queensland Lutheran Early Childhood Services (QLECS) governing body.

As a not-for-profit community kindergarten, every decision we make is focused on providing the best possible outcomes for children and families. Any income generated by the Kindergarten is reinvested back into our service, supporting our programs, resources, facilities, and ongoing improvements.
The Gatton Kindergarten Association Incorporated owns and retains the Kindergarten and its assets. When your child is enrolled at Gatton Kindergarten, you automatically become a member of the Association, giving you the opportunity to attend our Annual General Meeting (AGM), have your voice heard, and vote in the election of the Management Committee.
