Frankston South’s Baden Powell Kindergarten has received extensive upgrades thanks to a Building Blocks Partnership Agreement between the Council and the Victorian Government.
The kindergarten has just welcomed its first three- and four-year-old kindergartners to the refreshed facility which was inspired, in part, by community feedback.Frankston Mayor Cr Kris Bolam and State Member for Frankston Paul Edbrooke MP, joined local families, centre staff and Council staff to celebrate the opening of the kindergarten which was named in honour of Scouts founder Baden Powell.
The upgraded kindergarten now includes:
- Three kindergarten rooms (previously one)
- Increased approved places (previously 28 now 99)
- A beautifully designed and updated outdoor play space
- Allied health consultation room/family support space under the same roof
- Additional room with outdoor space for community use
- Improved parking
This is the second facility completed in the past 12 months as part of Council’s Building Blocks Partnership Agreement, which has funding from the Victorian Government of up to $15.45 million to support three projects that provide up to 371 kindergarten places in Frankston City.
Two other expansions are currently underway — Seaford Child, Youth and Family Centre, and Langwarrin Community Centre and Early Years Project — and are due to open in February 2026.
