Educators at Tunstall Square Kindergarten are thrilled to welcome families back in term two after the major expansion works were completed in April. 

The $1.4 million project has brought a range of new features and improvements, making it an even better space for your little ones to learn and grow. 

Among the new features, the kindergarten now includes a second room that can accommodate an additional 52 enrolments, and the entrance has been upgraded with a new ramp for improved accessibility.

Children will love the new playspace and landscaping features, including a multi-use synthetic grass play zone with a soft fall rubber undersurface, water pump, and creek water play area. Even the entry of the neighbouring Maternal and Child Health Centre has received minor improvements.

The upgrade focused on sustainable features, including solar PV systems, energy efficiency, passive design features, and eco-friendly, sustainable material specifications. 

The second stage of improvement works is planned to begin mid-year. This will involve constructing a new pedestrian path link from Russell Crescent into St. Clems Reserve and upgrading the Maternal Child Health Centre car park. 

The project has been delivered in partnership with the Victorian State Government, which contributed $744,700 to the project, and the Kindergarten.
