About the project

We’re building an early learning and childcare centre at Umarkoo Primary School.

The Victorian Government-owned centre will be run by Early Learning Victoria. The centre will provide long day care and Three- and Four-Year-Old Kindergarten programs with space for up to 130 local children each day.

The centre will have outdoor play areas, 2 dedicated maternal and child health consulting rooms, one consulting room for child and family services such as allied health, and a carpark.

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.

Visit the Early Learning Victoria website for more information about the government-operated centres.

Your centre's name

In consultation with Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Traditional Owners, Early Learning Victoria Umarkoo (pronounced U-mah-koo) has been chosen as the name of the new early learning and childcare centre at Umarkoo Primary School. Umarkoo is a Woi-wurrung word meaning everyone.

This centre was previously known by the name of Early Learning Victoria Wollert (interim name).

Funding

This centre is one of 50 early learning centres that will share in approximately $14 billion as part of the Victorian Government’s Best Start, Best Life reform.
