Funded Kinder at AWELC
Our Three and Four-Year-Old Funded Programs are run by Bachelor Qualified Early Childhood Teachers, delivering uninterrupted extended learning in stimulating, purposeful environments.
When your child attends funded kindergarten within a long day care setting, they receive uninterrupted and extended learning which facilitates their learning, growth and development in stimulating environments that are purposeful and inspire curiosity. Your child's kindergarten years are important and the skills, knowledge and friendships they develop throughout this time will support them through their schooling years and beyond.
Through government support for our Funded Kinder Program, AWELC is able to run a Bush Kinder program, Parent/Guardian and Teacher interviews and additional learning programs as part of our curriculum. This does not impact your daily fees and is part of the funded kinder program.
Eligibility: To receive kindergarten funding at AWELC, your child needs to attend a minimum of 2 days, meet the age requirements for their funded kinder year and have AWELC nominated as your child's funded kinder place.
