Kinder now is free for 3 and 4-year-old children. Read more here.

 

ECMS is delighted to partner with Moorabool Shire Council to deliver high-quality three and four-year-old kindergarten programs from the new Darley Early Years Hub.

The hub also offers playgroups, maternal and child health services, toy library, family services, occasional care and community spaces.

The facility will involve the relocation of existing services/groups (Lerderderg Preschool, maternal and child health, playgroups and occasional care) from the Lerderderg Children’s Centre.
