Our three and four-year-old kindergarten programs are currently fully-funded by the Victorian Government under the Best Start, Best Life reform and the Free Kinder initiative.
At times during the year the kinder may request families pay for one-off costs related to events such as excursions. Children who are eligible for the Kindergarten Fee Subsidy (KFS) or the Early Start Kinder (ESK) grant are not requested to pay any additional costs.
Fundraising is also undertaken to meet non-operational costs and to pay for additional items for the service. Fundraising and donations are voluntary but are vitally important to ensure the kinder is able to provide the children with the optimal environment and resources.
