Parents of kindergarten students in Yarriambiack Shire are being encouraged to provide their education from home if possible.
Yarriambiack Shire Council kindergartens join hundreds of Victorian educational facilities forced to completely rethink their teaching strategies, to mitigate the risk of spreading COVID-19.
As one of the first shires in Victoria to offer a three-year-old program, the council is now asking families who are enrolled in three and four-year-old programs who can educate their children from home to do so.
The services are open to enrolled families who encounter difficulty in providing a suitable learning environment at home or where parents or guardians are essential workers.
