Almost all funded kindergarten services now have access to Arrival and we are working closely with the last few providers.
Annual confirmation
Services should continue to enter all program, teacher, educator and enrolment data into Arrival for annual confirmation.
Attendance data collection
Arrival will provide sessional services that currently use paper-based records with digital sign in and sign out capability. This will make the ‘sign in, sign out’ process easier for families, and tracking and reporting attendance easier for services.
To support the transition to digital sign in, sign out, eligible sessional services are receiving digital devices (tablets) from the department.
Services that have received a device will be contacted by the department in early Term 2 regarding next steps to transition to digital attendance data collection. No action is needed ahead of this.
Collecting attendance data will help guide policy and practice improvements, strengthen kindergarten engagement and participation, and help maximise the benefits of an early childhood education, particularly with the expansion of funded kindergarten programs.
Guidance and support
Guidance and support for using Arrival is available through the ‘Help’ link at the top right-hand corner of your Arrival system screen.
Additional information and resources are available on the Arrival webpages.
