Enrolments
Enrolments for our 3-year-old and 4-year-old Kindergarten programs for 2026 open on Tuesday 1st April 2025 via our website.
2025 Fees
Kindergarten will be FREE in 2025.
The Best Start, Best Life reform will help all Victorian children dream even bigger through increased access to quality early childhood education and care. A critical part of the reform is Free Kinder, which will support access to two years of high-quality kindergarten programs for all Victorian children by making this free.
Free Kinder will be available for both 3 and 4-year-old kindergarten programs in 2025.
Child eligibility:
All children enrolled in a funded kindergarten program at a participating service are eligible for Free Kinder from 2023.
In line with existing policies for per capita funding, children must only receive Free Kinder funding at one service. If a child attends more than one service that offers a funded kindergarten program (e.g. a sessional service for some days and a long day care service on other days), the family must nominate which service they will receive their funded kindergarten program and therefore their Free Kinder funding.
Early Start Kindergarten
Early Start Kindergarten gives eligible children 15 hours of free or low-cost kindergarten a week for two years before starting school.
To be eligible, your child must be three by 30 April in the year they start kindergarten, and:
- is from a refugee or asylum seeker background, or
- identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, or
- your family has had contact with child protection.
Children can also access free or low cost Four-Year-Old Kindergarten through the Early Start Kindergarten Extension Grant.
