The department has received resoundingly positive feedback from the Kindergarten Parent Opinion Survey 2022, with great results coming in from across the state.
Through the survey, Victorian parents have given their feedback on the quality of the kindergarten program, relationships between teachers and their child, and experiences with their child’s kindergarten.
The results are a testament to the wonderful work of our kindergarten services and educators.
Survey responses give services, councils and the department valuable input from parents to support our work to provide quality kindergarten programs across Victoria.
A brief rundown of the survey results is available below, with more information available on the department webpage.

Quality in early childhood education
The survey is an annual initiative overseen by the department to monitor kindergarten education quality and increase kindergarten program quality.
