Early childhood teachers must complete a Transition Learning and Development Statement(opens in a new window) (TLDS) for all children transitioning to school in 2025 by Friday 20 December 2024.
Kindergarten service providers received a funding contribution during Term 3, 2024 for support releasing early childhood teachers to write TLDS.
This funding was paid to all eligible services through the Kindergarten Information Management System (KIMS) and named ‘Assessment for learning’. Please check your KIMS funding request record for details of the payment.
Online TLDS login information delays
TLDS are completed online using the Online TLDS tool(opens in a new window). The tool re-opened in July 2024.
Services should have received new login credentials through their registered service email address (as per NQAITS) through an email from insight@linkit.com(opens in a new window).
Please note that there is currently a delay of up to 10 business days in the synchronisation of updated contact and service details from NQAITS to the online TLDS tool. This issue will also affect new services. We apologise for this inconvenience and suggest you plan accordingly.
If you have not received your login credentials, please contact our helpdesk partner, the State Library of Victoria (SLV), using the details below.
