Free Kinder Funding in Victoria

Access Vic Free Kinder at Lili’s Early Learning Centre

At Lili’s Early Learning Centre in Hoppers Crossing, we’re proud to deliver Victorian Government funded Free Kinder programs for eligible families. Our kindergarten welcomes children from Hoppers Crossing, Tarneit, Truganina, Werribee and Wyndham Vale, making quality early education more accessible for families across Melbourne’s west.

What is Free Kinder?

Free Kinder is a Victorian Government initiative that provides funding for children to attend a 3 or 4-year-old kindergarten program for up to 15 hours per week. It reduces the cost of early learning, giving every child the opportunity to build a strong foundation for school and beyond while supporting families in our local community.

Free Kinder options at Lili’s Early Learning Centre

Our Free Kinder programs are delivered by bachelor-qualified early childhood teachers as part of our long day care service, ensuring your child benefits from a high-quality kindergarten program with the flexibility of extended care hours to suit working families in Hoppers Crossing and nearby suburbs.

We offer:

  • 3-Year-Old Kinder Program: For children turning three by 30 April in their attendance year. This program nurtures social skills, learning confidence and curiosity in a caring, play-based environment. Children explore early literacy and numeracy through songs, games and stories, while also engaging in creative arts, gardening, cooking and group play.

  • 4-Year-Old Kinder Program: For children turning four by 30 April in their attendance year. This prepares children for a confident start to primary school, with a strong focus on language, literacy, numeracy and school readiness skills. The program also includes exciting excursions, incursions with community groups, sports sessions, and opportunities for artistic expression.
