Epalock Crescent Kindergarten reopens for education and care

The Victorian Government recently showcased improvements to a kindergarten in St Albans, with Minister for Children Lizzie Blandthorn and Member for St Albans Natalie Suleyman visiting Epalock Crescent Kindergarten to announce that the rebuilt kinder is now open for business. 

The modular kinder, located near several primary schools, has two rooms with capacity for an extra 33 kindergarten places for three and four-year-olds. 

Modular kindergartens are constructed off site in a factory, in sections known as modules, to take advantage of faster construction times which minimise disruptions. Builders then assemble the modules on site before connecting utilities, completing outdoor play areas and landscaping grounds. 

“We’re delivering unprecedented investment in early childhood services so our children can get the most out of great local kindergartens,” the Minister said.

“We’re proud to be funding early childhood infrastructure because we know how important the early years are in setting our kids up for the rest of their lives.”
