About the project

We’re building an early learning and childcare centre at Wilmot Road Primary School in Shepparton.

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 transition to Pre-Prep. 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.

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.
