Sessional kindergartens warn Victoria's $14 billion free kinder plan may not suit all families
Network of community kindergartens says one-size-fits-all model is impractical for single-room services and risks eliminating family choice
A network of sessional community kindergartens has warned that Victoria's $14 billion free kindergarten rollout, which will offer minimum 15 hours per week for three-year-olds and up to 30 hours for four-year-olds by 2029, may be unsuitable for many families and services, citing concerns over facility capacity, funding, and the loss of parental choice.
