Brimbank Mayor Cr Virginia Tachos said:
“Kindergarten Readiness Month is a wonderful opportunity for families to explore local kindergartens, discover what’s on offer and learn how to get started.
“Throughout March, we encourage families to visit kindergarten open days, learn about the registration process, and gather the information they need to choose the right kindergarten for their child.
“Attending kindergarten helps children build important life skills, including creativity, social and emotional growth, and early reading and language skills.
“We invite families to come along, explore your options and help set your child up for a smooth and successful transition to school.”
