Queensland kindergarten learning guideline
The Queensland kindergarten learning guideline (QKLG) provides advice for planning, interacting with children, monitoring and assessing, and sharing information in kindergarten contexts. The draft guideline was trialled in 27 kindergarten settings during 2010.
The guideline:
- is based on the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (EYLF)
- is an approved framework — see Quality Standard 1.1 in the National Quality Standard (NQS) (PDF, 26000 kB)
- helps services meet the criteria for an approved kindergarten program. For more information, contact the Office for Early Childhood Education and Care (OECEC).
Continua of learning and development
The Continua of learning and development: Queensland kindergarten learning guideline companion is a professional resource that helps teachers assess and reflect on evidence of children's learning progress and plan ways to promote continuity of children's learning and development.
