Our guide highlights the many benefits of sending your child to an early childhood education and care service that offers a preschool program.

Why the early years matter

What happens during the start of your child’s life (from pregnancy until their 5th birthday) has a huge impact on how they grow, develop and learn. By attending a quality preschool program your child will learn valuable skills that support language and literacy development, social and emotional skills, creativity, confidence and motor skills.
