Nest Early Learning & Kindergarten offers government-approved 3-year-old and 4-year-old kindergarten programs.
Delivered by bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teachers, our programs support your child’s development in literacy, numeracy, confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing—giving them the best start to school and life.
Under the Victorian Government’s “Kinder: Best Start, Best Life” initiative, your child may be eligible for “FREE & Kinder” saving your family up to $2,101 annually. This subsidy is applied directly to your fees and helps reduce your out-of-pocket costs after the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is applied – equivalent to around $52 in savings per week.
Nest early learning & kindergarten is proud to support the Victorian Government’s early childhood education reforms by offering Pre-Prep at our centre. This initiative is part of the plan to gradually increase funded kindergarten hours for 4-year-olds from 15 to up to 25 hours per week.
From 2026, Pre-Prep will be offered at Nest to all eligible 4-year-old children for up to 25 hours per week. Eligible children from priority cohorts will be able to access Pre-Prep at our Centre.
Pre Prep is part of Free Kinder and offers additional savings for your family up to $3,501 annually, equivalent to $67 in savings per week.
We’re excited to be part of this important journey and will continue to share updates as the rollout progresses.
