About the project
We are building a kindergarten at Echuca Primary School.
This will help some families before and after school with drop-off and pick-up. It will also help some children make a smoother transition into primary school.
This new kindergarten will have 2 rooms as well as outdoor learning areas. The kindergarten will provide kindergarten for up to 66 children at a time. It may be able to enrol more local kids by spreading sessions throughout the week.
Enrolment
Shine Bright EYM (Early Years Manager)(opens in a new window) has been appointed to run this kindergarten. Campaspe Shire Council is managing enrolments through their Central Registration and Enrolment Scheme. Please visit Kindergartens – Campaspe Shire Council(opens in a new window).
Funding
This project shares in $283 million provided in the 2019–20 State Budget for Three-Year-Old Kindergarten capital funding. Funding was allocated in Round 4 of the 2023 Building Blocks Capacity Grant stream.

Modular kindergarten buildings
As funded kindergarten for 3 and 4-year-olds becomes more available across Victoria, we are making sure there are enough kindergarten places to meet increased demand.
Kinders at schools
New Victorian primary schools will have a kinder on-site or next door. We're also planning and building a pipeline of kindergartens at existing schools.
