Kids First Australia has recently been announced as the service provider for the new Wallan Secondary College Kindergarten (interim name), which is set to open in Term 1 next year.
The kindergarten site will be established at Wallan Secondary College as part of the State Government’s Best Start, Best Life reform.
In the 2023-24 State Budget, the project shared in $1.3 billion allocated to build around 100 new kindergartens to support the reform.
Locating kindergartens on or near schools helps children get the most out of their early learning, while also providing a smoother transition from kindergarten to school for children.
Member for Kalkallo Ros Spence said she looked forward to having a new kindergarten which would support many families in the community.
“I know just how difficult the double drop off can be for busy parents and families, which is why I’m so excited that Kids First Australia has been appointed as the service provider for Wallan Secondary College Kindergarten (interim name),” she said.
“We’re now one step closer to delivering this brand-new state-of-the-art kindergarten in Wallan, and I know that once completed, many families will benefit from it.”
Mitchell Shire Council is managing enrolments through their Central Registration and Enrolment Scheme, which can be found at www.mitchellshire.vic.gov.au/community/children-and-families/kindergartens.
