A new kindergarten is set to open in St Albans next year.
The state government announced that six new kindergartens built on existing school sites would be open next year, helping to eliminate the double drop-off for more families, while making kinder more accessible.
Early Childhood and Pre-Prep Minister Ingrid Stitt announced that St Albans Meadows Primary School would be one of those sites.
A two-room centre which opens to an outdoor learning and play space will be built at the school, catering for 66 kindergarten students.
Willmott Park in Craigieburn, Roxburgh Park, Korumburra and Napoleons primary schools and Kyabram P-12 College are the other new sites, creating nearly 500 more kinder spots across the state.
Ms Stitt said they were delivering unprecedented investment in the first years of children’s education, while making the transition to school that much easier for our little ones.
“Any family knows mornings can be the busiest time of day, that’s why we’re making school drop off faster and easier with more kinders on school sites right across the state,” she said.
As part of the state government’s best start, best life reform, the government is creating 50 government-owned and operated early learning centres.
