About the project

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

The Victorian Government-owned centre will be run by Early Learning Victoria.

The centre will provide long day care, Three-Year-Old Kindergarten and Pre-Prep programs, with space for up to 57 local children in the centre each day.

The centre may also include other spaces for community use.

From 2026, Four-Year-Old Kindergarten will transition to Pre-Prep in the Pyrenees Shire, with children eligible to receive 16 to 20 hours of Pre-Prep.

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.

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.
