Early Learning Victoria Nyernilang Lar

We’re building a new early learning and childcare centre at Eaglehawk North Primary School in the City of Greater Bendigo.

The Victorian Government-owned centre will be run by Early Learning Victoria. The centre will provide long day care and Three- and Four-Year-Old Kindergarten programs, with space for up to 102 local children each day.

The centre will have outdoor play areas as well as a consulting room for child and family services such as allied health, and a car park. It will also have a room for community meetings and playgroup.

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 or learn more about enrolling your child at the early learning centre at Eaglehawk North Primary School.

Your new centre’s name

In consultation with local Traditional Owners, Early Learning Victoria Nyernilang Lar has been chosen as the name of the new early learning and childcare centre at Eaglehawk North Primary School. Nyernilang Lar is a Dja Dja Wurrung word meaning learning place or centre.

We used Eaglehawk North Primary School Early Learning and Childcare Centre as an interim name while it was being planned, designed, and built.
