Australian Childcare Alliance Victoria and Community Child Care Association have developed guidance materials to support funded kindergarten in Victoria.
The 2 sets of guidance materials provide practical information about policy and funding supports in place to support access and participation, particularly for children experiencing vulnerability and disadvantage.
