The Andrews Labor Government is making it easier for Wyndham families to secure a kinder place.

Minister for Early Childhood Ingrid Stitt today announced Wyndham is one of 41 local government areas

that will share in $720,000 and receive a Central Enrolment Development Grants.
Wyndham will receive $10,000 to update policies, websites and materials to ensure that Three-Year-Old

Kindergarten information is accessible to all families, and to engage and consult with culturally and

linguistically diverse communities throughout Wyndham all in time for the roll-out of funded ThreeYear-Old Kindergarten across Victoria.
Central enrolment makes it easier for parents to secure a kinder place by allowing parents to register

their interest in enrolling their child in more than one service, without having to contact multiple centres.

The Kindergarten Central Enrolment program provides grants to councils to establish, expand or

enhance central enrolment schemes in their community.
Councils can apply for up to $60,000 to implement a scheme or up to $10,000 to expand or enhance an

existing scheme to support the statewide roll-out of universal Three-Year-Old Kindergarten in 2022.

In an Australian first, the Labor Government is investing almost $5 billion to deliver 15 hours of funded

three-year-old kindergarten programs to children in Victoria by 2029.
Three-Year-Old Kindergarten has now been rolled out across 21 local government areas and will expand

across the rest of the state in 2022.
