A new kindergarten at Devon Meadows Primary School is one step closer to opening, with Baldasso Cortese named as the architect for the project.
Minister for Early Childhood and Pre-Prep Ingrid Stitt announced the architecture firms who have been selected to design the new kinder projects on Friday 18 August, which will give children a place to learn and thrive while also providing a smoother transition to school.
“Building these new kinders is about delivering modern, tailored early learning facilities to local families across Victoria – so that every child gets the best start in life,” she said.
“We’re ditching the double drop-off – giving every child access to an outstanding education close to home while saving families time and money.”
The new facilities will open in 2025 and will be built at or near 9 schools across the state.
The architects appointed to design the nine new kindergartens are:
* Foreground Architecture – Mildura South Primary School, Kerang South Primary School and Echuca Primary School kindergartens;
* ClareHopkinsClarke Architects – Wallan Secondary College, Broadmeadows Valley Primary School and Thornbury High School kindergartens; and
* Baldasso Cortese – Devon Meadows Primary School, Wonthaggi North Primary School and Tootgarook Primary School kindergartens.
The state-of-the-art facilities will deliver children a high-quality early learning experience and will be designed in consultation with school communities and local councils.
