Kindergarten Partnership Strategy

Why do we need a Kindergarten Partnership Strategy?

The Victorian State Government is currently rolling out a pre-prep program, which will provide access to:

• 15 hours a week of fully funded kindergarten for three-year-old children by 2029; and
• 30 hours a week of fully funded kindergarten for four-year-olds by 2032.

This will require Council to provide an increase in physical places and infrastructure for kindergartens, which this Kindergarten Partnership Strategy will plan for.

In developing the Kindergarten Partnership Strategy, we have brought together information and input from community feedback, demographic data, early years regulations and feasibility studies.
