Our programs are:
- Delivered by Bachelor-qualified teachers
- Based on play-based learning and the Kool Beginnings Curriculum

- Available from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm, Monday to Friday, 52 weeks a year (excluding public holidays)
- Inclusive of five nutritious meals daily, freshly prepared by our in-house chef
- Ideal for families needing flexibility and peace of mind while working full time
Who is eligible?
All Victorian children enrolled in funded 3 or 4-year-old kindergarten are eligible – even if you don’t receive Child Care Subsidy (CCS). To ensure that you receive the Kinder offset at Kool Kidz, you will need to sign the “One Funded Place Declaration” form. You can only claim a funded Kinder program at one (1) service.
What is Pre-Prep?
In 2026, Four-Year-Old Kindergarten is transitioning to Pre-Prep, offering more hours (up to 30 per week) of early learning before school.
