KYABRAM KINDER ON SCHOOL SITE SAVING PARENTS TIME AND MONEY

Kyabram parents can save time and money while ditching the dreaded double drop-off with a new kinder planned for Kyabram P-12, making kinder more accessible.

Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes announced a new kindergarten would open at Kyabram P-12. The two-room centre, opening to outdoor learning and play spaces will be built on the school site, offering 66 kindergarten places.  

The new kinder site at Kyabram P-12 will join new kindergartens in St Albans Meadows, Willmott Park, Roxburgh Park, Korumburra and Napoleons primary schools in 2024, creating 495 new kindergarten places for local kids.

The new kindergartens are sharing in $371 million provided in the Victorian Budget 2019/20 for Three-Year-Old Kindergarten funding.

Built with modular construction to expedite delivery and minimise disruption for the school and local community, the technique delivers new high-quality learning environments more quickly, supporting 42 jobs during construction and 164 in associated industries.

Kindergartens on-site or next door to primary schools ensure kindergarten programs are easier to access, drop-off time is simpler and more convenient for parents and provide a smoother transition from kindergarten to school for local children.

Since 2021 the Labor Government has delivered a kindergarten on-site or next door to every new school that has opened, ensuring families have better access to the services they need.

As part of our Best Start, Best Life reform, we’re making kinder free across the state, creating 50 government-owned and operated early learning centres and establishing Pre-Prep, an extra year of play-based learning that is saving families money and helping more women back into work.
