Program guidelines
The Start Strong Free Preschool program guidelines are now available on the Department of Education website.
Start Strong Free Preschool is designed to support families with cost of living pressures through the delivery of free preschool for 600 hours in the two years before school.
Community and mobile preschools will have the opportunity to opt in to the program and receive additional funding, paid on top of current annual Start Strong funding allocation. Start Strong Free Preschool replaces the COVID-19 Free Preschool Funding program from January 2022.
