About the project
We are building a kindergarten at Thornbury High School.
This new kindergarten will have 3 rooms as well as outdoor learning areas. The kindergarten will provide kindergarten for up to 99 children at a time. It may be able to enrol more local kids by spreading sessions throughout the week.
Enrolment
Early Childhood Management Services(opens in a new window) has been appointed to run this kindergarten. City of Darebin is managing enrolments through their Central Registration and Enrolment Scheme. Please visit Kindergarten Registration – City of Darebin(opens in a new window).

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.
