A kindergarten or preschool program is generally delivered in the year prior to starting primary school. Some states refer to this program as kindergarten while others refer to it as preschool. Kindergarten/preschool is designed for children aged between 3 and 5 years, depending on the state or territory, and is aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework. Attending kindergarten/preschool is hugely beneficial for children, and supports them in developing a lifelong love of learning and their transition into primary school.
