Welcome to West End Scott Street Community Kindergarten! Our beautiful kindergarten holds a special place in the hearts of many local families as it has been operating now for over 65 years.
We provide a high quality program for children in an engaging, interesting, well resourced and aesthetically pleasing learning environment.
Our classic Queenslander building was purposefully renovated by award winning Brisbane architects in 2008. It is a attractive and spacious home like environment, where children feel comfortable, welcome and relaxed to learn at their own pace through play.
We are located conveniently across the road from West End State Primary School in the vibrant inner city suburb of West End.
You can find us at 15 Hardgrave Road (corner of Scott Street). We are very close to Davis Street Park and Montague Rd.
