KindiLink

KindiLink is a play-and-learn initiative for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who are not yet old enough to enrol in school. 

KindiLink is provided in 38 public schools. Children attend with a parent/carer for six hours a week. KindiLink offers high quality play-and-learn sessions for children and their parent/carer at the participating schools, at no cost to families. 

There is a growing body of evidence that participation in Kindilink has a positive impact on children’s learning and social and emotional development. 

Families are supported by a teacher and AIEO to be actively involved in the activities with their children. 

Children and families from outside a KindiLink school’s catchment area are welcome to participate in KindiLink. KindiLink at Nulsen runs every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (during school terms) from 9am to 11am.  Children attending, must do so with a parent or carer.

Every Wednesday, non-Aboriginal parents/carers from the community are invited to participate in the Kindilink program. Sessions include music, dance, play, learning games and activities, conversational reading & shared morning tea in the early childhood indoor and outdoor environments.

A child health nurse from Esperance Population Health attends every alternate Wednesday session at Nulsen and is available for parents and carer support, questions and child health needs.
