Kindergartens

Kindergarten is a crucial stage in any young child’s life; delivered by a qualified early childhood teacher, these programs nurture, teach and prepare children for the next step in their educational journey – primary school.

In 2021, all kindergartens in the Alpine Shire will be offering State Government subsided programs for three and four year old kindergarten. Children who turn three by 30 April 2021 can now access up to 15 hours a week of funded Three-Year-Old Kinder.
