The Early Childhood Education Unit
Early childhood education in Queensland state schools is characterised by quality curriculum, pedagogy, assessment and reporting that responds to the capabilities of young children in preschools, primary classrooms (Years 1, 2 and 3) and from 2003, our trial preparatory classes.

Education Queensland is committed to providing children with learning experiences that engage young minds, promote positive dispositions to lifelong learning and ensure a continuity of learning experiences through the early years of schooling.

Early childhood communities include young children, parents, teachers, administrators, ancillary staff and other early education and care service providers in the community. Building strong partnerships within and between these groups will enhance Education Queensland's focus on maximising young children's early learning and development.

The Early Childhood Education Unit has responsibility for:

Early childhood policy development
Supporting and promoting diverse and responsive curriculum delivery in the early years of schooling, in liasion with the Queensland Studies Authority
Advocacy and support for early childhood education in schools and within Education Queensland's broader strategic directions
Fostering early childhood stakeholder relationships and partnerships
Supporting and promoting Education Queensland's early childhood educational theatre company KITE Theatre Productions.
