Free Kinder

Free Kinder

City Kids is a proud provider of the Victorian Government’s Free Kinder initiative.

This means you will receive a Free Kinder saving of up to $2,101 on your out-of-pocket fees.

Free Kinder means all children receive 2 years of a high-quality kindergarten program before they start school. Enrolling your child in a kindergarten program for 2 years can help develop their skills so they do well in life and school.

Free Kinder is for everyone. You do not need to be an Australian citizen to receive Free Kinder.

Free Kinder is available if your child attends either our Three-Year-Old Kindergarten program 15 hours per week or our Four-Year-Old Kindergarten program for 15 hours per week.

If your child is enrolled in our kindergarten program, you will receive a savings from your out-of-pocket fees. We will apply these savings to your invoices regularly across the year.

Remember, you can only enrol your child in one funded kindergarten or Pre-Prep program at any one time.

For more information, ask our staff or visit vic.gov.au/kinder.

One of the significant milestones in a child's life is their first day of school. However, before this big day, there's another crucial phase in Victoria: kindergarten.
