Participants of the Kindergarten Beyond the Range Program will receive support including:

• a $1,000 cash payment to assist with travel
• accommodation and other related expenses
• access to Kindy " Beyond the Range Professional Experience Project Room on the Learning Place
• information and additional support before and during their professional experience in a regional, rural or remote Queensland kindergarten service
