     <p>In Australia, sessional kindergartens or preschools are usually operated by local government, religious organisations, schools, private organisations or the community. They usually run during school term and school hours, meaning the program runs for 40 weeks per year, with most sessions finishing up around 2 pm, over 2-3 days per week.<\/p>\n<p>The kindergarten or preschool program is also offered in long day care centres. Most long day care centres are open from 7:00 AM. to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday with flexible drop-off\/pick-up times to better accommodate busy working families. Long day care centres run 52 weeks per year, meaning your child would not miss out on valuable learning opportunities during school holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Nutritional meals and snacks are covered in long day care centres, so you don\u2019t have to worry about packing lunches.<\/p>\n<p>Child Care Subsidy still applies when your child attends the kindergarten or preschool programs offered in long day care services. Depending on your state or territory, different funding options can be combined with your Child Care Subsidy savings, making kindergarten or preschool more affordable for your family.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, there is no difference between the curriculums adopted by long day care and sessional kindergarten or preschool providers. They are both run by qualified early childhood teachers, and they all align with Early Years Learning Framework, focusing on supporting individual children\u2019s development, interests and needs through play-based and intentional learning experiences.<\/p>\n<p>If your child is already settled at a long day care centre, they have the opportunity to stay in a familiar environment, transitioning together with their friends.<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                    <div class=\"g8-accordion__item accordion-item\">\n                                        <h2 class=\"g8-accordion__item__header accordion-header\">\n                                            <button class=\"g8-accordion__item__header__button accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#flush-collapse-g8-accordion_24_670c5c72a1c58-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"flush-collapse-g8-accordion_24_670c5c72a1c58-1\">\n                                                <span class=\"g8-accordion__item__title\">How does my child become eligible for \u2018free\u2019 Kindergarten in Victoria?<\/span>\n                                                <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-alt-arrow-down\"><\/i>\n                                            <\/button>\n                                        <\/h2>\n                                        <div id=\"flush-collapse-g8-accordion_24_670c5c72a1c58-1\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" data-bs-parent=\"#g8-accordion_24_670c5c72a1c58\">\n                                            <div class=\"g8-accordion__item__content g8-block-wysiwyg\">\n                                                <p>To receive the Best Start, Best Life Kinder subsidy, your child needs to turn 4 years on or before 30th April 2024 and enrolled in a funded Kindergarten program in 2024.

They usually run during school term and school hours, meaning the program runs for 40 weeks per year, with most sessions finishing up around 2 pm, over 2-3 days per week.\\nThe kindergarten or preschool program is also offered in long day care centres. Most long day care centres are open from 7:00 AM. to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday with flexible drop-off\\\/pick-up times to better accommodate busy working families. Long day care centres run 52 weeks per year, meaning your child would not miss out on valuable learning opportunities during school holidays.\\nNutritional meals and snacks are covered in long day care centres, so you don\\u2019t have to worry about packing lunches.\\nChild Care Subsidy still applies when your child attends the kindergarten or preschool programs offered in long day care services. Depending on your state or territory, different funding options can be combined with your Child Care Subsidy savings, making kindergarten or preschool more affordable for your family.\\nEssentially, there is no difference between the curriculums adopted by long day care and sessional kindergarten or preschool providers. They are both run by qualified early childhood teachers, and they all align with Early Years Learning Framework, focusing on supporting individual children\\u2019s development, interests and needs through play-based and intentional learning experiences.\\nIf your child is already settled at a long day care centre, they have the opportunity to stay in a familiar environment, transitioning together with their friends.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How does my child become eligible for \\u2018free\\u2019 Kindergarten in Victoria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"To receive the Best Start, Best Life Kinder subsidy, your child needs to turn 4 years on or before 30th April 2024 and enrolled in a funded Kindergarten program in 2024.
