What is a sessional kindergarten?
Sessional kindergartens are not-for-profit organisations that provide early childhood education for three to five-year-olds. This critical education forms the basis of your child’s learning journey from 3 to 4-year-old kindergarten and the transition to primary school.
Being a not-for-profit means that surplus funds are invested back into the kindergarten to purchase new equipment and resources or upskill our teaching staff. Each family has unique educational and care needs. There are different types of kindergarten programs to meet these needs. Some families choose to enrol their child in a sessional kindergarten or a kinder program within a long day care setting, while some families may access a mix of sessional kinder and long day care.
