About the project

We’re building an early learning and childcare centre at Newborough East Primary School. The Victorian Government-owned centre will be run by Early Learning Victoria.

The centre will provide long day care, Three- and Four-Year-Old Kindergarten programs with space for up to 130 local children in the centre each day. The centre will have outdoor play areas, a carpark and a consulting room for child and family services, such as maternal and child health and allied health. It will also have a multi-purpose room for community meetings and playgroups.

From 2028, Four-Year-Old Kindergarten will transition to Pre-Prep in Latrobe City Council 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.

This centre was previously known as Newborough East Primary School Early Learning and Childcare Centre (interim name).

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.
