About the project

We added another kindergarten room to the centre. This allows the centre to offer kinder to 95 children at a time, an increase of 33. It will be able to enrol more local kids than this by spreading classes throughout the week.

These additional places are part of the Victorian Government's early learning reforms, giving children 2 years of free kinder.

Funding

In Round 2 of the 2021–22 Building Blocks Capacity Grant, $1,763,000 was allocated to this project.
