About the project
We’re building an early learning and childcare centre at Teesdale Primary School.
The Victorian Government-owned centre will provide long day care and Three- and Four-Year-Old Kindergarten programs.
The centre may also include other spaces for community use.
From 2028 Four-Year-Old Kindergarten will begin the transition to Pre-Prep in Golden Plains Shire. Free kindergarten hours will double from 15 to 30 hours a week for 4-year-olds and triple from 5 to 15 hours for 3-year-olds by 2031.
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.
