Free Resources To Upskill And Retain Kinder Workforce

19 September 2025

The Victorian Government has introduced the Kindergarten Teaching Excellence Approach, a new initiative aimed at strengthening early childhood education across Victoria. Central to this is the Early Childhood Hub, a free online platform offering world-class professional development tools for educators in funded kindergartens.

This initiative supports the expansion of kinder programs from 600 to 1,800 hours before school and is part of the broader $14 billion Best Start, Best Life reforms. These reforms aim to improve teaching quality, reduce costs for families, and support workforce retention and upskilling.
