Warrnambool City Council invites you to view our video presentation below, Kinder Now Starts At Three.
This presentation is about the introduction of three year old kinder in 2022 to our city and provides parents/guardians with useful information to enable them to make informed decisions regarding the best start to their child’s educational journey.
Kindergartens: the best start to lifelong learning
Research shows that kindergarten improves children’s health and wellbeing, helps them to develop strong social skills and encourages a love of learning.
Children who go to a kindergarten program are more independent and confident and are more likely to make a smooth transition to primary school (Foundation).
All Warrnambool City Council Kindergartens offer play based learning programs and incorporate the Be You, Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden, Indigenous Language and Healthy Achievement programs into their curriculum.
In 2021 Warrnambool City Council is offering Nature Kindergarten, where children can experience natural outdoor play, explore the open environment and connect with nature.
The Victorian Government is making it easier for families to find funded and approved kindergarten programs through a ‘Kinder Tick’. All Warrnambool City Council Kindergartens display the Kinder Tick, which means they are Victorian Government approved.
Funded kinder for three-year-olds
From 2022 the Victorian Government will fund two years of kindergarten for all Victorian children.
This will be achieved with the addition of funded kindergarten programs for three-year-olds.

Mini video tours
Any kindergartens which are not managed by Council arrange their own enrolments.
Please contact these kindergartens directly.
