Long Day Care Kindergarten for Flexible Learning and Care

A Kindergarten Program within a long day care setting gives families the benefit of both early learning and extended care hours in one familiar environment. Children can take part in a structured kindergarten program led by educators while also enjoying the continuity of care that many busy households need.

This model suits parents who need more flexibility than a sessional program can offer. It also helps children settle into a steady daily routine, with familiar faces, consistent expectations and a clear balance between guided learning, play, rest and care throughout the day.

3 Year Old Kinder Broadmeadows & 4 Year Old Kindergarten Programs

Broadmeadows Early Learning Centre offers both 3 year old and 4 year old kindergarten programs, with learning experiences tailored to each stage of development. Younger children are supported as they build confidence, learn to interact with others, follow routines and express themselves more clearly.

In the year before school, children are given more opportunities to strengthen communication, independence, problem-solving and early literacy and numeracy skills. Each program is designed to help children learn through age-appropriate experiences while preparing them for a smoother transition into primary school. Parents who want to discover the centre and get a better idea of the programs and amenities can also book a tour.

Forms & Information

Kindergarten Melbourne Program Based on Play Based Learning

The centre’s kindergarten program uses a play based learning approach because that is how young children make sense of the world around them. Play creates space for children to explore, ask questions, solve problems and develop important social and emotional skills in a natural and engaging way.

Daily experiences may include storytelling, music, group activities, creative arts, imaginative play and outdoor exploration. These experiences support language development, confidence, creativity, cooperation and early thinking skills, while keeping learning enjoyable and meaningful for each child. This approach also helps children build independence, resilience and confidence in everyday routines, which are all important foundations as they move closer to school age.

Free Kinder Victoria for Eligible Families

Free kinder Victoria funding can make kindergarten more accessible for families by helping reduce the cost of funded kinder programs. This gives more children the opportunity to benefit from quality early education before they start school, without families carrying the full cost on their own.

Because funding arrangements and eligibility can vary, parents are encouraged to contact the centre directly to ask about current enrolment options, program availability and how funded kindergarten may apply to their child’s place.

The teacher-led kindergarten program may be integrated with additional hours of education and care. Kindergarten programs delivered in a long day care setting provide flexibility for parents and carers by offering childcare before and after the kindergarten program.

A standalone kindergarten offers up to 15 hours of a funded kindergarten program to eligible three and four-year-old children. The kindergarten program runs on certain days and at specific times.
No. The Kinder Tick helps Victorian families find a funded kindergarten program for their children. All kindergarten programs in Victoria are also independently assessed and rated under the National Quality Framework, which is a separate process.

Using or displaying the Kinder Tick is not compulsory — it is an optional tool to help early childhood services and families in Victoria. You can check whether a funded kindergarten program is available by asking the service directly.
