Make Your Kindy Uplift Investment Stick.
Kindy Uplift funds evidence-informed programs that build teacher and educator capability. Our speech pathology led partnership targets the program's priority areas and keeps building capability all year, not just on one PD day.
What Kindy Uplift covers
Kindy Uplift is the Queensland Government's funding for kindergarten programs, supporting evidence-informed programs and supports that build teacher and educator capability across identified priority areas.
Its priority areas include social and emotional capability, communication, and inclusive engagement with children who need additional support. When kindergartens choose Kindy Uplift suppliers, the question is which program genuinely builds capability in those areas, and keeps building it after the funding year.
How Pocket Education fits
Where a Pocket Education Partnership Fits Kindy Uplift Priorities
Communication
Speech pathologist led modules and coaching on early language development, late talkers and everyday communication support in the room.
Social and emotional capability
Co-regulation, transitions and meltdown support grounded in children's neurobiology, so educators respond confidently instead of reactively.
Inclusion of children needing additional support
Neuroaffirming practice for autism, ADHD and sensory differences, embedded in the curriculum your kindergarten already runs.
Capability that compounds
Whole-team access, recorded sessions and an on-demand library mean new and existing staff keep learning across the whole funding period.
Kindy Uplift arrangements are set by the Queensland Department of Education and can change. Confirm eligibility and approval processes with your program contact before committing funding; we are happy to support that conversation with documentation.
