Aitken Hill Integrated Community Centre has received a boost with a modular kindergarten built off site opening.
The new building has two rooms with space for 66 three and four year-olds which will help the students and families have kindergarten and primary schools close together.
The introduction is part of the state government Building Blocks partnership with Hume council to provide kindergartens close to home and close to, or within primary schools. This limits the need for parents to travel and makes the transition into school easier.
The buildings, constructed in factories are assembled on the campus before connecting utilities and landscaping the area.
“This new kinder in Craigieburn will give more children in the area the chance to attend a great local kindergarten, where they can learn, play and make new friends” Kalkallo MP Ros Spence said.
All new government schools since 2021 have also required the construction of a kinder in or near the campus. The modular buildings can help make this easier.
