Albion Kindergarten
Two years of funded, play-based kindergarten in Albion — taught by qualified early childhood teachers and built into a full childcare day.
Anderson Road Child Care Centre runs a Victorian Government approved kindergarten program for both 3 and 4 year olds, right here in Albion. Two years of quality kinder gives children a stronger start, and our program is designed around that evidence.
Our kindergarten is integrated — the teacher-led educational program runs five days a week inside long day care, with hours from 6am to 6pm. That means your child gets a bachelor-qualified early childhood teacher and a proper curriculum, and you get one place that covers the whole working day, all year round.
For eligible families, the funded kindergarten program is free under Free Kinder — a saving of around $2,101 per child per year. We help you check eligibility and enrol.
