What is Kindy? |
Kindergarten,
known as kindy, is a part-time educational program for children
in the year before Prep (the first year of school in
Queensland). Kindy is a place where your child will learn
through play experiences and interactions that support their
early learning, wellbeing and development. By participating in
kindy, children develop a love of learning and are supported
with their transition to Prep. Queensland Government-approved
kindy programs are delivered by a qualified early childhood
teacher. Kindy programs can be offered at early childhood
education centres; selected rural and remote and other selected
state schools where there have been barriers to access
kindergarten; and by distance education or eKindy for some
children who cannot access a centre. |
