About KU Dianella

KU Dianella caters for 99 children offering funded kindergarten and allied health services. Each of our KU services are unique and we work hard to create beautiful, interesting, homelike learning environments for children, to foster a sense of belonging.

We provide a quality sessional kindergarten play-based program in addition to early intervention services. The kindergarten operates three year old and four year old sessions, with a comprehensive transition to school program.

Three-year-old Kindergarten (5 to 15 hours per week) FREE

The Victorian Government has recently announced changes to kindergarten funding under the Best Start, Best Life reform, which provides support to access two years of high-quality kindergarten programs for all Victorian children. This is a beneficial injection of funding into the early years and one which KU welcomes.

From 2024, the Victorian government will be providing Free Kinder funding, based on $2,563 per eligible 3 and 4 year old child attending a kindergarten program within a sessional kindergarten. This funding has been applied by KU to ensure kindergarten fees in 2024 are at no cost to families.

Free Kinder funding is for children who are 3 and 4 years old in the two years before attending formal schooling and can only be accessed in one service. This could either be in a sessional kindergarten or long day care service.

The Victorian Department of Education and Training requires parents to sign the declaration form at the time of enrolment. Your eligibility for VIC Free Kinder funding is conditional upon signing this form.
