The newly redeveloped McLeans Road Kindergarten in Bundoora was officially opened this week by early childhood minister Ingrid Stitt and city of Whittlesea chair administrator Lydia Wilson.

The former single-room kindergarten has been replaced with a state-of-the-art two-room facility for the centre’s 95 young kids.

City of Whittlesea chair administrator Lydia Wilson said the $4.1 million redevelopment of McLeans Road Kindergarten supports the growing demand for kindergarten programs.

“Kindergarten programs play such an important role in guiding children to develop strong social and problem-solving skills and encourage a lifelong love of learning,” Ms Wilson said.

“With a history spanning back to 1977, we’re so pleased we’ve been able to fully redevelop and modernise the facility to welcome the next generation of students to McLeans Road Kindergarten.”

McLeans Road Kindergarten is located at 151 McLeans Road, Bundoora.
