Bachar Houli: Early education has been part of my life for a few years now.
My son is in Three-Year-Old Kindergarten. I was excited for him to start because there are so many benefits.
You know, for such a short period of time, he's developed in all aspects, to be very honest.
And he's very confident, whereas previously he never had that, at home.
You know, his ability to, to come out and speak freely, confidently.
Developing those social skills is so important, there's no way of getting that unless you, place them in an environment where there's other children.
Learning through play is a great way for children to grow and develop.
Three-Year-Old Kinder gives children a safe place to experience new things, learn social skills, gain confidence, be creative, and get curious.
I mean there’s no better way for a kid’s development than through playing.
Every kid loves to play, especially when you place this young kid with another 10, 15, 20 young kids. It’s more fun.
Yeah, so we're obviously, we're happy with their development and no doubt kinder has been a massive part of that contribution.
Another positive part of Three-Year-Old Kinder is the financial aspect.
Free Kinder is available for Three-and Four-Year-Old
Kindergarten programs at participating services. Saving Victorian families up to $2500 per child per year.
