Warrandyte Kindergarten Extended Care

In 2024, extended care runs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 1:30pm to 5pm. The cost for one or two sessions will be $395 per session per term with subsequent sessions costing $315 per session per term. Extended care is optional and is not subsidised by the government. Subsequently, there is no discount for concession card holders.

The Extended Care program is run by two fully qualified early childhood educators who will embrace emergent and intentional teaching. It will also encompass all areas of the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework and the National Quality Standards.
