About the project
In partnership with YMCA (Ballarat) and Harcourt Preschool Committee, we relocated and upgraded their kindergarten, creating the new preschool.
We installed a purpose-built modular kindergarten that is able to offer more places for local 3 and 4-year-olds. Modular kindergartens are relocatable facilities that can be produced in a matter of months and flexibly deployed where needed. This significantly reduces the time and cost of creating new kinders. Modular buildings will help deliver high-quality, long-lasting, purpose-built kindergarten infrastructure.
This kindergarten is co-located with Harcourt Valley Primary School.
Funding
This project shares in $283 million provided in the 2019–20 State Budget for Three-Year-Old Kindergarten capital funding.
In 2020-21, a total Government contribution of $1,712,500 was approved for this project through the Children's Facilities Capital Program.

Modular kindergarten buildings
As funded kindergarten for 3 and 4-year-olds becomes more available across Victoria, we are making sure there are enough kindergarten places to meet increased demand.
Kinders at schools
New Victorian primary schools will have a kinder on-site or next door. We're also planning and building a pipeline of kindergartens at existing schools.
