Pre-Prep in Ararat

First Y Kinders to offer Pre-Prep: Ararat Rural City

As part of the ‘Best Start, Best Life’ early childhood education reform, the Y Kinders’ services in Ararat Rural City were announced to be amongst the first in Victoria to offer 30 hours of fully funded, free kindergarten for 4-year-old children in 2025.

Introducing Pre-Prep

We consulted extensively with the local community and our Educator teams during planning to inform the implementation of Pre-Prep in our 6 Ararat Rural City kindergartens.

From this, we’ve developed a variety of session options designed to provide families with genuine choice when selecting a kindergarten.

Ararat Learning and Development Day: 3 October 2024

Preparing for Pre-Prep

Y Kinders is pleased to host this premier event for educators, early childhood professionals and students to advance their knowledge and skills in preparation for Pre-Prep.

This free conference features highly respected keynote speakers, engaging workshops and a panel discussion.
