About the centre

We’re opening a new early learning and childcare centre at Murtoa College.

The centre will have an outdoor play area and it will also include a maternal and child health consulting room for local families.

Programs

  • Long day care at Murtoa: We will provide 57 places for children aged between birth and 6 years.
  • Funded kindergarten: The centre will provide kindergarten for 3- and 4-year-olds.
  • Four-Year-Old Kindergarten is transitioning to Pre-Prep: This will mean more funded hours of kinder each week (between 16 and 30 hours). Murtoa will be one of the first places in the state to introduce Pre-Prep from 2025. This new program will give 4-year-old children greater opportunities to socialise and learn through play.

Families can apply for either:

  • Integrated kindergarten: Kindergarten plus long day care, offering flexible drop-off and pick-up within an 11-hour day
  • Sessional kindergarten: Only attending kindergarten hours and days, school terms only.

Kindergarten hours are:

  • Three-Year-Old Kindergarten: 8:45 am - 3:15 pm. Monday, Tuesday and alternate Wednesdays.
  • Four-Year-Old Kindergarten: 8:45 am - 3:15 pm, Monday to Thursday.
