Village Early Education Ferntree Gully supports families by offering both the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and the Victorian Government’s Free Kindergarten program.

The CCS helps reduce the cost of childcare for eligible families. The subsidy is paid directly to childcare providers and lowers the daily fees parents pay for approved care. The amount families receive depends on factors such as household income, the number of hours parents spend working, studying or volunteering and the hours of care used.

Families attending our childcare centre can also benefit from the Victorian Government’s Free Kindergarten initiative. This program provides funded kindergarten for both three-year-old and four-year-old children, helping prepare them for school through structured play-based learning. These programs form an important part of our preschool and kindergarten, giving children opportunities to build confidence, social skills and early learning foundations before starting school.
