A kindergarten program for every child

A child's participation in quality early childhood education lays the foundation for their future success in learning and life.

Kindergarten provides a world of carefully constructed play that early childhood experts agree develops children's abilities and helps prepare them for school.

The Queensland Government announced on Monday 19 October its plan to ensure all Queensland children have access to a kindergarten program by 2014.

Delivering this plan will mean that all children born from today will have access to a high quality kindergarten program in the year prior to Prep, giving all Queensland children the flying start they deserve.
