Welcome to the first edition of the Queensland kindergarten learning guideline (QKLG) news for 2025!
We’re pleased to bring you the latest updates and resources to support your work in nurturing confident and creative lifelong learners.
It's time to use the QKLG 2024
2025 marks the first year that kindergarten services across Queensland will be implementing the QKLG 2024. This is a significant milestone for early childhood educators around the state, enabling you to plan child-centred kindergarten programs using the latest advice.
The QKLG 2018 is no longer in use. Soon the QKLG 2018 webpages will be retired, and you will only be able to access the QKLG 2024 webpages. Website resources for the QKLG 2018 are being curated, updated and relocated to the QKLG 2024 webpages where required.
Under construction: Kindergarten transition statement (KTS) app
We’re currently updating the KTS app in the QCAA Portal to align with the QKLG 2024.
While the KTS app is being updated, the ability to create new statements for your 2025 kindergarten children will be temporarily unavailable. You will be able to create transition statements in the updated KTS app from September.
During this time, you can still:
- log in to your QCAA Portal account and complete access administrator tasks (if you are an Access Management Administrator for your service)
- access transition statements from previous years
- discuss and seek consent to create transition statements for your 2025 class by downloading Consent form 1
- submit any remaining transition statements from your 2024 class (2025 Prep students) and provide copies to parents and carers.
Thank you for your patience while we work to improve the functionality of the KTS app.
Self-paced learning package: familiarisation and planning
If you missed our familiarisation and planning workshops last year, you can catch up by accessing our new self-paced learning package.
The package is split into three modules and is designed to help deepen your understanding of the QKLG 2024, reflect on your practice and identify considerations for planning using QCAA support materials.
Kindergarten research insights
Have you explored our series of Kindergarten research insights? We showcase the latest academic research that directly connects with the QKLG, supporting you to develop your evidence-based teaching practice.
Our first new article of the year has just been published, titled ‘Setting high expectations for three-year-olds in kindergarten’.
Make sure to subscribe to Kindergarten research insights (if you haven’t already!) to be the first to know when new articles are available.
