We’re excited to announce that a new kinder will be joining the Y Kinders family, opening in 2027.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with local families and the Noble Park North community at our newest Y Kinder, co-located at Carwatha College, P-12,” said Y Kinders and Y Ballarat CEO, Craig Mathieson.

“This purpose-built facility, combined with the warmth and expertise of our Y Kinders’ educators, will create a welcoming, supportive environment for children and families in the area. At Y Kinders, we’re proud to play a leading role in ensuring all children begin their lifelong learning journeys with quality programs, wherever they live.

Together with the project team, we’re committed to delivering a warm and engaging kindergarten ready for families at the start of 2027.”

We’re thrilled to be growing into the City of Greater Dandenong and to have the opportunity to support local families through inspired early learning,” said Carly Middleton, General Manager of Y Kinders.

“This partnership reflects our shared commitment to ensuring every child has access to safe, nurturing, and high-quality education that builds strong foundations for life.”

The new kindergarten at Carwatha College P-12, marks another exciting step for Y Kinders, bringing inspired early education to more families, and we can’t wait to welcome the first children and families through the doors in 2027.


The Y acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures; and to Elders past, present and future.
