New kindergartens in Roxburgh Park and Craigieburn will be opened next year as part of the six new centres announced last week.
The state government announced that they would be opening of six new kindergartens on school sites next year including in Craigieburn and Roxburgh Park.
Willmott Park Primary School in Craigieburn will welcome a new three-room kindergarten centre that opens to an outdoor learning and play space. The Craigieburn centre will provide 99 new kindergarten places.
A new four-room centre that also opens to an outdoor learning and play space at Roxburgh Park Primary School will provide a further 132 kindergarten places.
Early Childhood and Pre-Prep Minister Ingrid Stitt says that these kindergartens that are located on-site or next door to primary schools help make the transition to school much easier for young children.
“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.
New kindergartens will also be opened at St Albans Meadows, Korumburra and Napoleons primary schools and Kyabram P-12 College creating a total 495 new kindergarten places.
