A positive start to school can help children to become lifelong learners.
Starting preschool is an exciting time for your child and your family. Each child’s journey to preschool is different. Your child might transition from home or an early childhood education and care service, they might attend a public preschool or continue into their early childhood education and care preschool program.
As part of Set up for Success: An Early Childhood Strategy for the ACT 
(845kb), the ACT Education Directorate has launched a new Preschool Pathways program to assist parents and carers to support your child’s smooth transition to preschool.
You know your child best – you are their first teacher – and you play an important role in helping them on their education journey.
A set of resources is available under the Preschool Pathways program, including:
- Preschool Pathways map
- Transition to Preschool and COVID-19
- What is the EYLF
- Great books to read with your child
- Talking to your child about their day.
