Why the early years are so important

The early years of your child’s life, even before they start compulsory schooling, influence later learning and life outcomes.

It is clear from the almost universal uptake of Kindergarten and Pre-primary, that parents and families value the benefits of their children going to school in these years. Early years learning gives your child the best possible start.
