About Maridahdi

The protagonist for Maridahdi came with the introduction of ‘Prep’ into Queensland schools. Parents were concerned about the more formalised, structured approach to the early years.

Maridahdi Early Childhood Community is currently responsible for two schools:

Maridahdi Early Childhood Community School (MECCS) (Toowoomba) is an independent school with enrolments offered from Kindergarten through to Year 6. MECCS commenced on 23 January 2006. The Kindergarten runs on a five day fortnight.
