Funded “Free” KindergartenThe Government funds 15 hours of free kindergarten for children in the two years before they start school.
Hampton Community Kindergarten has opted-in to free kinder and you can access this across 2 days per week at our service without the need to pay any fees or the need to access additional hours at extra cost.
You can only access free kindergarten at one service and you are required to sign a form to confirm your child is accessing their funded kindergarten program at our service.
The funding for free kinder is paid directly to the kindergarten services and does not attract the Child Care Subsidy as paid to Long Day Care providers.
Priority of access provisions apply, all priority of access children are given priority over all other children. More information on priority of access can be found here: https://www.vic.gov.au/priority-access-criteria
We charge an enrolment deposit which is fully refunded when your child starts kinder.
Priority of access children do not need to pay an enrolment deposit.
Once off excursions may have associated costs for all other children.
Priority of access children are eligible for and funded under Early Start Kindergarten. These children are not charged for anything additional including for excursions.
