KindiLink is a free play-and-learn program for three-year-old children and their parents/carers, helping children and families get ready for their future schooling journey.
Through KindiLink, families and schools work together to:
- Support children’s social, emotional, language and cognitive development
- Build parents’ and carers’ confidence as their child’s first teacher
- Build strong relationships between families, the school and the community
- Help children develop positive connections with school before they officially begin
KindiLink provides free play-and-learn sessions each week, delivered by an Early Childhood Teacher and an Aboriginal Islander Education Officer (AIEO).
The program uses evidence-based early learning approaches, including the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the 3a Abecedarian Approach.
KindiLink primarily supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who are not yet old enough to enrol in four-year-old Kindergarten.
KindiLink is a wonderful opportunity for children and families to play, learn, connect and build confidence together — all while developing a positive relationship with their school and community.
