A Little About Us – Lutheran Education Queensland

Prince of Peace Lutheran Kindergarten is part of Lutheran Education Queensland, a not-for-profit organisation that's been delivering exceptional early childhood education for over 50 years. We're committed to providing safe, supportive, and faith-based environments where children are loved, encouraged, and inspired to learn.

About Prince of Peace Lutheran Kindergarten

At our 30-place Kindergarten, inclusion is at the heart of all we do, reflecting our commitment to the Lutheran values. We believe that every child is a precious and unique creation of God, each with their own strengths, interests, and ways of learning.

In response, we thoughtfully plan our play-based curriculum to meet the individual needs of every child, ensuring they feel valued, respected, and supported in their learning journey.

Guided by the belief that all people are equal in God's eyes, we embrace diversity and difference. We understand that children grow and develop in their own time and in their own way. Through careful observation and planning, we seek to meet each child where they are, nurturing not just academic growth, but their social, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

By fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment, we aim to live out the Gospel message of love and acceptance, creating a Kindergarten community where every child and family feels a true sense of belonging.
