Three Year Old Kindergarten and Pre-Prep

Three Year Old Kindergarten

Integrated Kindergarten is a government-funded kindergarten program delivered within a long day care setting. It combines quality early education with extended hours of care, all in one familiar environment with consistent educators. Integrated Kindergarten may suit your family if you:

• Require childcare for extended hours (e.g., while working)
• Have younger children who also need care at the same location
• Prefer a program that runs year-round, closing only on public holidays and during the Christmas shut-down period.

This program offers families the best of both worlds – the benefits of Long Day Care with the inclusion of the structured Victorian Kindergarten Program. Children enjoy a familiar setting, strong relationships with educators, and access to a wide range of learning experiences. Families can book up to five days per week, including school holidays, ensuring continuity and flexibility.

Pre-Prep

Victorian Pre-Prep is the transition of Four Year Old Kindergarten into a 30-hour-per-week, play-based learning program for four-year-olds. This initiative is gradually rolling out across the state from 2025.

From 2026, our centre will offer the full 20 hours of funded Pre-Prep, with 25 hours of funding available for priority families ensuring every child has access to high-quality early learning opportunities.
