Beginning kindergarten is an exciting milestone for children and families. Every child settles in their own way and at their own pace, and we are here to support you throughout the journey.

​

Before your child starts kindy, we encourage you to spend time together reading your My New Kindy book. It includes practical information, an independence checklist and ideas to help your child become familiar with kindergarten before their first day.

​

Simple everyday opportunities such as carrying their own backpack, opening lunchboxes, recognising their name, putting on hats and managing self-care routines all help children develop confidence and independence. These skills don't need to be mastered before starting kindy—we will continue supporting and encouraging them throughout the year—but practising them at home provides a wonderful foundation.

​

Most importantly, speak positively about kindergarten and enjoy the excitement of this new adventure together. We look forward to getting to know your child and walking alongside your family as they begin their kindergarten journey.
