Kinders on school sites coming

Quarters Primary School in Cranbourne West will become home to a new kindergarten in the coming years.

Children Minister Lizzie Blandthorn in November announced the service providers for four kindergartens in the program State Government’s Kindergartens on School Sites building program.

They’re set to open across Victoria next year.

The program is about making kinder easier to access, making drop-off and pick-up easier for parents, and providing a smoother transition from kindergarten to school for children.

This announcement followed news in July from Bass MP Jordan Crugnale that Devon Meadows Primary School was one of 12 new or expanded kindergartens set to open in early 2025.

“Early design works are now underway which will give more families across our community easier access to quality early years education and make the transition to school easier,” she said.

“Importantly also, they will make sure that even more children in our growing communities will have access to the life-long benefits of kinder.”

Clyde North’s new Alexander Boulevard Primary (interim name) will welcome a kinder opening in 2025.
