Integrated Vs Sessional Kindergarten

Assist your decision-making process

As parents, we always aim to provide the best possible education for our children, giving them a strong foundation from a young age. For those parents looking for a Kindergarten option for their child we commonly get asked the following questions:

  • What are the differences between sessional and long day care kindergarten?

  • What is the better choice for my child: sessional kindergarten or long day care kindergarten?

  • What option will best get my child ready for school?

It’s essential to note that both options have their merits, but certain factors should guide your choice:

  • How many hours of care does your child require?

  • Do you have a budget in mind?

  • Do you require flexibility in pick up / drop off times?

We have developed a flyer to help you understand the differences between Sessional and Long Daycare Kindergarten, to assist your decision-making process.
