Pre-Prep in 35 Indigenous communities

The Queensland Government committed through the Bound for Success strategy to enhance pre-Prep programs for Indigenous children to better prepare them for school. Some 29 Cape York and Torres Strait communities and six other Indigenous communities were identified to be part of this initiative.

The Bound for Success Pre-Prep program is for children in the year before Prep. Pre-Prep is delivered in different settings including community kindergartens, child care centres and schools.

Pre-Prep in Indigenous communities is a part-time, early education program targeting 31/2 - 41/2 years year olds living in 35 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Pre-Prep educators use the Foundations for Success: Guidelines for an early learning program in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Communities to help them plan, implement, document and reflect upon a quality early learning program.
