Parents and carers of children enrolled in a funded kindergarten program are invited to take part in this year’s Kindergarten Parent Opinion Survey (KPOS).
The survey, running from today, Monday 13 October to Friday 7 November 2025, is a great chance for families to give feedback on their child’s kindergarten program. This feedback will help services to continue to provide quality early years education that is responsive to their community.
We encourage all funded kindergarten services to share the survey with parents and carers of children enrolled in their funded Three-Year-Old, Four-Year-Old or Pre-Prep Kindergarten programs – and we’ll send you resources to help.
Key things about the survey
The survey takes a few minutes. It asks parents and carers about their service’s educational program and quality, as well as their child’s learning and development.
The survey is offered in 10 languages other than English, so more people can take part. To help promote the survey, we will send service providers resources including posters, fact sheets, an email template and a link to the survey.
Results will be available in 2026 for providers and services where 5 or more families have completed the survey.
The Social Research Centre is running the survey on behalf of the department.
Resounding results from last year’s survey
Last year more than 17,745 parents and carers of children enrolled in funded Three or Four-Year-Old Kindergarten programs took part in the survey, and the results were exceptionally positive.
Responses from parents and carers at a state-wide level revealed:
- 90% thought the overall quality of education offered was good
- 92% think attending kindergarten is important for their child’s education
- 94% said that the service is welcoming and inclusive of all children.
These results are a testament to the wonderful work of our kindergarten services, teachers and educators.
