Daddy Dan has granted us free 4YO kinder

https://www.premier.vic.gov.au/supporting-families-free-kind…

"
10 November 2020
This year, parents – but mostly mums – have had to juggle work and childcare and kids learning from home. Even now with students back at kinder and school, we know that balancing act isn’t any easier.

We want to give families one less thing to worry about.

It’s why the Andrews Labor Government will deliver free kinder for 2021 and support for more outside school hours care – saving parents thousands of dollars and helping more women back into work.

The Victorian Budget 2020/21 will deliver up to $169.6 million to make kinder free next year, saving families around $2000 for every child enrolled in a participating funded kindergarten program.

The investment will not only make sure more kids are getting a great early childhood education, it’ll make it easier for parents – particularly women – to return to the workforce as we recover from this pandemic.

Under this investment, subsidies will be offered to early childhood services providing funded kindergarten programs – meaning free kinder for four-year-olds and eligible three-year-olds attending a participating sessional kinder.

Families with children enrolled in kinder programs at a long day care centre will also benefit from a saving of around $2000 in fees.

And for those families that have kids attending unfunded three-year-old programs in sessional kindergartens, there will also be reduced fees.

This investment builds on the Labor Government’s commitment to deliver kinder for every three-year-old, reaching every part of the State by 2022.

To further help parents return to work or increase their hours, the Government will invest $81.6 million to increase the availability of before and after school care.

Grants of up to $75,000 will be made available to start new outside school hours care programs at up to 400 government schools – so that any school that currently doesn’t have a program can apply to receive a grant.

This investment will mean more families can rely on before and after school care – giving parents greater flexibility when it comes to work, study, training or re-entering the workforce.

The funding will help establish new services across our state and provide support for costs including equipment, setup and administration, facility upgrades and transport.

Not only will these investments support our kids, they’ll help make sure families – and our state – can begin to recover from this pandemic.

                @jv: I think it would be more accurate to say that risks could have been minimised had a different decision been made. There's no guarantee that a policeman or ADF member would not been infected, particularly considering that it may have been the hotel manager that infected the guards. And you claim he threw others under the bus. Is this claim backed by evidence? How can you be sure that he wasn't truthful when he said he didn't know who made the decision?

                  Why would you hire a company without checking their qualifications for the job?
                  Why hire a company that was not on the approved list?

              @mr fox: I guess people are upset that the Victorian government failed to have basic oversight of the most likely infection route of COVID into our society (hotel quarantine), and even if not from day 1 over the months that followed never improved or revisited how the system operated, or even took notes at a meeting, or knew who spent $30 million with companies not even on the government procurement lists.

              We know lockdowns work, they worked well in China, the collateral damage to society was quite brutal if you weren't a public servant or union member/construction worker.

              So no, not all Victorians agree with you, I don't, I think the current government should be liable for the deaths their failed actions led to.

          When Dan's health department, among others, caused huge amounts of community transmission, and 700+ deaths, serious numbers of sick healthcare workers getting Covid-19 because of a lack of PPE and inadequate hospital funding (he has been cutting budgets here and there, it's just the unions don't leak against Labor governments), it's someone else's fault or is FAKE NEWS that he had anything to do with it. FAKE NEWS that Scomo offered him Army support (apart from spying on his own citizens). FAKE NEWS that it was obvious to everyone a transient workforce would have difficulty maintaining virus control. FAKE NEWS that it was the Department of Premier and Cabinet's decision (and probably his) to use that transient workforce rather than the Army or the Police as a key component of hotel quarantine.

    saving parents thousands of dollars and helping more women back into work.

    its about $2000 in savings for the year but not sure if its going to help women get back into work.
    kinder is only 15 hrs a week.

    • pdtmathieson on 10/11/2020 - 11:39
      +15

      Helps them get back to 15 hours a week - my wife is a personal trainer so will be getting most of her sessions into when the oldest kid is at 4YO next year.

      Or it be more affordable to engage child care, when they have to pay 15 hours less a week. Minimum wage doesn't cover the cost of child care, but it would definitely tip the balance.

      • MisterEd on 10/11/2020 - 12:36

        15 contact hours often split over three short or two half days. Have to factor in travel time to and from kinder.

        Having kids at care for only the kinder hours doesnt really allow for time to work.

        Going to a centre that does extended hours or a combined childcare/kinder on the other hand is a different story as you can get up to 11 hours per day (for an additional cost of course)

        • pdtmathieson on 10/11/2020 - 14:13
          +2

          Sure - but every bit helps, right? My case is probably the ideal one, where my wife is a personal trainer and has fairly flexible hours. And every bit of time that can be spent at kinder rather than childcare also helps. Combined kinder/child care will end up having proportionately reduced fees.

          It's still not universal full time childcare for all, but it's like asking why a pair of Nike's still costs $60, why can't it be free - we take the best offer we can get!

    • Chicken Kyiv on 10/11/2020 - 11:49

        But it is an option isn't it?

        Most families have to rely on extended family or friends to juggle work and childcare anyway.

    JV has lost the plot - quite the meltdown in this thread.

    I wish this was all of Vic. My postcode doesn't get out until 2022 and my daughter will be in 4YO kinder My then. Damn.

    Wait for those application queues to get 10 times longer than they already are. Otherwise I guess thats a deal…

      If you're applying now you're probably already too late

        This is a funny “deal”.

        No concrete info on how to obtain, and as you say, most Council kinders my wife told me about required us to apply months ago. I’d be wearily of a kinder that suddenly has spots for you now.

        Kinder places can’t just triple on a dime due to Government announcing it will make it free. We’re gonna end up with kids going to kinders taught by people whom have, at best, a few months training, or at worst, none at all.

        Doesn’t sound like great education, this is why planning is so important, making ad hoc announcements will waste taxpayers money and hopefully not ruin a child’s view of education.

    I've never heard daycare called 'kinder'. Is this a Victorian thing? I assume the deal is not for free kinder surprises.
