Kinder surprise: 1100 kids in limbo as council pulls plug on kinder services

A Melbourne council will shut down dozens of kindergartens while another municipality is considering closing its kinder facilities due to cost pressures linked to the state government’s free kinder program.

Looks like Knox council is thinking of pulling the plug on 3/4yo kinder and are looking to privatise all of the council run Kinders.

Running costs are too high even with the subsidy... (Apparently)
