About the project
We’re building a new early learning and childcare centre at Moomba Park Primary School in the City of Merri-bek.
The Victorian Government-owned centre will be run by Early Learning Victoria. The centre will offer childcare and Three- and Four-Year-Old Kindergarten programs, with space for up to 130 local children each day.
The centre will have outdoor play areas, a Maternal and Child Health consulting room, and a carpark. It will also have a room for community meeting 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 Moomba Park Primary School.
Your new centre’s name
In consultation with local Traditional Owners, Early Learning Victoria Wimbi (pronounced wim-bee) has been chosen as the name of the new early learning and childcare centre at Moomba Park Primary School. Wimbi is a Woi-wurrung word meaning wallaby.
We used Moomba Park Primary School Early Learning and Childcare Centre as an interim name while it was being planned, designed, and built.
Funding
This centre is one of 50 early learning and childcare centres that will share in approximately $14 billion as part of the Victorian Government’s Best Start, Best Life reform.
