The QKLG focuses on children’s learning during the year before they start school. Teachers plan their programs, recognising that children bring with them diverse identities and backgrounds.

It acknowledges that parents/carers are children’s first teachers and values the vital role they play in children’s lives and their ongoing learning.

By following the Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines, our early childhood educators build the social and personal skills which help your child become an engaged learner; an attitude which continues once they start school.

Don’t be confused by all the terminology. What it means is that every early learning program designed by Queensland educators covers five broad areas of development, reflected in the EYLF.

• Identity – an understanding of themselves and who they are.
• Connectedness – learning how they fit into their families, their social groups and their communities, and what it means to be a member.
• Wellbeing – helping children grow up to be active and healthy
• Active learning – helping children learn in a variety of ways
• Communicating – learning to express themselves confidently and consistently in different groups or circumstances.
