                    Preschools and kindergartens

                    Preschool (also called ‘kindergarten’) provides educational programs for children during the year before they start school. Children must be at least four years old before 30 April of the year they attend preschool. Sessional preschool programs for three-year-old children are also available.

                    You can enrol your child in a funded kindergarten program in a variety of settings, including children’s centres, long day care centres, community kindergartens, independent schools and a small number of government schools.

                    For more information, contact the following preschools:

                    Preschool Field Officer Program

                    The Preschool Field Officer program aims to support the access and participation of children with additional needs in kindergarten. It supports children with a range of developmental concerns and additional needs who are usually not receiving support from the Early Childhood Intervention Services or Kindergarten Inclusion Support Packages.

                    Preschool field officers are highly qualified early childhood professionals specialising in early childhood education and development. They support kindergartens by providing consultation, resources and advice to teachers and families.

                    Any family with a child attending a state-funded kindergarten program with additional needs or a teacher working in a state-funded kindergarten program can access this service.


                    School crossing supervisors

                    The City of Melbourne coordinates and monitors school crossings to ensure the safety of pedestrians and students attending the many schools within the municipality. School crossing supervisors are allocated to schools on a needs basis.

                    Supervisors are predominantly funded by the City of Melbourne, with some funding from VicRoads.
