The Victorian Government provides per capita funding to support children to access a kindergarten program in the year before they start school. This funding is a contribution towards meeting the cost of our 4yo kindergarten program and is based on the number of children enrolled in the 4yo program at Deepdene Preschool. The preschool meets the balance of the costs of delivering the 4yo program through fees. Our 3yo program is not funded, and the preschool meets the whole of the costs of delivering the 3yo program through fees.
