The immediate priority for the new Office is to plan and provide access to Kindergarten Programs for children aged between 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 years of age in the year prior to starting Prep.
The Office is also leading Queensland's input into the national early childhood reform agenda that is being progressed through the Council of Australian Governments (COAG).
