Northern Grampians Shire Council offers a range of family and children services for residents.
Kindergarten is an early education program for young children aged three to five years of age, led by an early childhood teacher. Three-year-old kindergarten has been introduced across Victoria, which means families can now access two years of government-funded kindergarten for their children before they start school.
There are many long day care options within Northern Grampians Shire. Long day care services provide quality full-day or part-timecare for children of working families and the general community.
Playgroup is a great way for young children to access learning and play opportunities. Attending playgroup is also a wonderful way for parents to relax with a cuppa and make new friends.
