Your child can only be funded for a kindergarten program place at one service at any one time, and only for one year in a Three-Year-Old Kindergarten program and one year in a Four-Year-Old Kindergarten program (unless your child is assessed as being eligible for a second year of Four-Year-Old Kindergarten by your child’s kindergarten teacher).
Kindergarten Funding
In line with the Victorian Government’s requirements for Free Kinder, your child can access a 15-hour kindergarten program for free. The only fees that you may be asked to pay are for one-off excursions costs (e.g. transport and entry costs).
