About the project

We’re building a new early learning and childcare centre at Eaglehawk North Primary School in the City of Greater Bendigo.

The Victorian Government-owned centre will provide long day care and Three- and Four-Year-Old Kindergarten programs, with space for up to 102 local children each day.

From 2029 Four-Year-Old Kindergarten will transition to Pre-Prep in the City of Greater Bendigo and funded kindergarten hours will double from 15 to 30 hours a week.

The centre will have outdoor play areas as well as a consulting room for child and family services such as allied health, and a car park.  It will also have a room for community meetings and playgroup.

Building the centre at the school will help some parents avoid the double drop-off. It makes childcare and early learning accessible and convenient for working parents and carers. It can also make the transition to school easier for some children.
