Since the expanded investment, more than 40 additional schools have joined up to the program. In total, 150 additional schools will join the program by June 2025.

This is the biggest overhaul to early childhood education in Victoria. Here’s what you need to know:
In 2023 three and four year old kinder became free, meaning families will save up to $2,500 a year for every child.
From 2025, we’ll begin to open 50 government owned child care centres across the State in areas that need them most.
And also from 2025 we’ll transition from 15 hours of four year old kinder to a 30 hour pre-prep program of play-based learning for every four-year-old child in Victoria.
It’s about putting money back in your pocket—and giving every young Victorian the very best start in life.
