Early years

Queensland offers children a full-time, non-compulsory Preparatory Year of schooling before Year 1.

The Preparatory Year provides a firm foundation for formal schooling. Children develop their independence and social skills, physical skills, oral language, literacy and numeracy understandings, creativity and curiosity about the world.
