Eligibility for Free Kinder in 2024

The Victorian Government provides funding to support children to access a high quality kindergarten program in the two years before they start school. This helps to ensure all Victorian children get the best start in life.

In line with the Victorian Government's requirements for Free Kinder, each child may attend one year of 3 year old kindergarten, followed by one year of 4 year old kindergarten.

Your child can only attend a funded kindergarten program at one service at any one time, and children are only able to access one year in a 3 year old kinder program and one year in a 4 year old kinder program.

If you are concerned about your child's readiness for kindergarten or school, or they are in the younger age group of being born in January-April, we encourage you to call the kinder and have a conversation with one of our teachers about the best time to start your child at 3 year old kinder.
