Kindergarten - English

To dream big, our kids need the best start in life. It's why the Victorian Government is:

  • Making Three and Four-Old-Kinder free across the state from 2023
  • Delivering a new year of universal Pre-Prep for four-year-olds
  • Establishing 50 government owned childcare centres over the decade.

This is in addition to continuing to roll out Three-Year-Old Kindergarten.

These pages provide an English version of content we have on all language pages.
