Why Sessional Kindergarten Still Matters
Sessional kindergarten has long provided children and families with a community-based, relationship-driven foundation for learning.
It is a model grounded in educational depth, local accountability and strong school transition pathways.
As funding structures evolve, VSKEA advocates for:
Recognition of the sessional model’s professional expertise
Respect for educator workload and planning conditions
Sustainable implementation of expanded kindergarten hours
Clear communication of policy impacts at service level
VSKEA is intentionally structured as an accessible
professional membership.
Membership contributions support:
Policy research and analysis
Development of practical advocacy tools
Publication of structured Advocacy Briefs
Ongoing maintenance of an independent sector platform
This ensures that educators have access to clear, evidence-informed information without reliance on corporate providers or informal social media forums.
