About the project
We’re building an early learning and childcare centre at Portland South Primary School.
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 57 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.
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.
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.
