As part of the ‘Best Start, Best Life’ early childhood education reform, Y Kinders continues to roll out increased hours of fully funded, free kindergarten for four-year-olds.
Already underway in Ararat, 30 hours of Pre-Prep is offered at our 6 Y Kinders in the region.
Y Kinders in the Buloke, Pyrenees and East Gippsland Shires will be offering up to 20 hours of Pre-Prep in 2026.
Y Kinders in the Central Goldfields, South Gippsland and Swan Hill Shires will be joining the rollout in 2027.
