We provide a warm, safe and nurturing community for families from all backgrounds.
We strive to ensure that each and every child in our care feels cherished and nurtured.
We encourage open, honest and reciprocal communication with families so that kindy is an extension of the home.
We instil a sense of respect for and awareness of all cultures with an emphasis on our First Nations’ cultures in our children and work closely with Indigenous Educators to embed this in our curriculum.
We embrace diversity, welcome all children, regardless of culture, and are active in connecting with community groups.
We encourage and welcome involvement at kindy from families and the local community.
We are supported by a range of affiliates who contribute to the kindy in a variety of ways. We are incredibly grateful for the support of our community. If you would like to provide support to the kindy, please contact us to discuss.
Cathy Lammie for her continued support, endorsement, and inclusion over many years. Cathy’s sense of community is appreciated and she has always shown great enthusiasm for our kindy.
Thank you Cathy Lammie Property.
Councillor James Mackay, Walter Taylor Ward, for providing support in 2019 to help celebrate Gan Gani Kindergarten’s 30th anniversary.
Thank you to the Brisbane City Council for the following grants we have received.
Access and Inclusion Grant for funding our beautiful new bathrooms. This grant allowed the kindy to fully renovate the existing children’s bathroom and to install a wheelchair accessible bathroom for children and adults who attend and visit the kindy. We are proud to be a fully wheelchair accessible kindergarten for children, their carers and visitors. These new bathrooms not only benefit current and future families enrolled in the kindy, but also our special friends from the Salvation Army Aged Care and Endeavour Foundation to visit us on a regular basis.
Environment & Sustainability Grant for funding our new 6.5kw solar system enabling the kindy to reduce electricity costs and further reduce our carbon footprint.
Lord Mayor’s Suburban Initiative Fund for contributing towards the purchase and installation of a new air-conditioner.
Gan Gani is grateful for the support received over many years from Bright Consulting. Most recently they were kind enough to donate a new mobile phone for the kindy.
Thanks to the talented craftsmanship and generosity of the wonderful teachers and students from the
St Edmund’s College Manual Arts Department, Gan Gani received a new cubby house to enjoy in 2019.
St Edmund’s built and donated the cubby and we are so very grateful. We are also incredibly grateful to Shane from Brown’s Delivery Service who did not hesitate to rise to the occasion and assist our kindy in the delivery of the cubby house.
Birdie’s Tree is a suite of resources to help families prepare for, cope with and recover from a natural disaster or disruptive event. Birdie’s Tree particularly helps support mental health and emotional wellbeing for expectant and new parents, babies and young children.
While the stories were originally written for children aged 0 to 4, we are finding they are helping children who have experienced disruptive events, up to at least mid-primary school age.
Most Birdie’s Tree resources are available for free, click on the links or pictures below. There are flipbooks and animations or videos and the resources are available in many languages.
Gan Gani is a community kindergarten focused on early childhood education. We’re a not-for-profit organisation that uses play-based emergent curriculums and focuses on providing a hands-on learning environment.
Our multicultural curriculum incorporates a unique focus on Judaism, honouring our founding communities and Jewish families, but is also welcoming to all cultures, traditions and backgrounds. We actively encourage strong parental involvement at all levels of our operation.
Our large and spacious outdoor areas, well equipped facilities, and single unit premises offer a quiet sanctuary to our children to allow an uncompromised focus on their development, education and wellbeing.

acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands on which our Services are placed, and pay our respects to the elders, past and present, who have raised children, taught them about the world around them and bestowed on them the gift of culture and language.
