Free Kinder
Research shows starting a quality kindergarten program leads to positive outcomes on a child’s learning and development. Kindergarten provides a nurturing environment for children to acquire skills, become more
independent, and build on their sense of belonging.
The Starting Age Calculator is available on the Department of Education’s website; enter your
child’s birth date to find out what year they can start Three- and Four-Year-Old Kindergarten.
