About the project

We built a new kindergarten at an interim site at Essendon Keilor College.

It provides new kindergarten places in an area experiencing high demand for kindergarten services.

Building the kindergarten at an interim site allowed us to quickly deliver local kindergarten places in time for the beginning of Term 1 2023.

The interim kindergarten includes two kindergarten rooms offering 66 places for local 3- and 4-year-old children. It also includes a Maternal and Child Health room and a dedicated outdoor learning space.

This kindergarten supports the delivery of Free Kinder for 3- and 4-year-olds across Victoria.

Funding

In the 2019–20 Budget, this project shared in $283 million allocated over four years for Three-Year-Old Kindergarten.
