Gan Gani is a Community Kindergarten run by its own volunteer management committee, elected from the parent body and other interested members of the local community. Such a management structure enables parents to play a key role in their child’s Kindergarten experience.
At Gan Gani, the parent committee is called the Queensland Jewish Kindergarten Association Inc (QJKA). The QJKA stands as the Approved Provider, holds the legal accountability of the Kindergarten and is responsible for the general management of the Centre to Gowrie standards and the Department of Communities.
The committee work together throughout the year to enhance the children’s experience, govern the strategic direction, and participate in general decision-making processes in relation to the Kindergarten.
Being part of the Committee is a very rewarding and worthwhile experience for all parents! Whether you are a new or returning parent, all parents are welcome and greatly encouraged to come on board, regardless of your specific skillset or experience. It is a great opportunity to join in the fun and become an active member of this fantastic, engaged and dedicated community!
The Management Committee plays a vital role in our organisation by undertaking:
– President
– Vice President
– Treasurer
– Secretary
The Management Committee is elected every year at an Annual General Meeting held in February by the members of the Association.
Nominations for the Management Committee positions are sought in the weeks between the commencement of the year and the date of the Annual General Meeting, in accordance with the Constitution.

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.

Gan Gani Community Kindergarten
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.
