Families and educators past and present of McLeans Road Kindergarten are invited to share their memories before the start of construction of a new bigger facility later this year.

Whittlesea Council will soon start building a two-room (66 place) kindergarten on the Bundoora site, replacing the single room, 40-year-old facility.

Built in 1977, the launching pad for four-year-olds has seen many, including generations of families, play and learn, and with an ever-increasing population it’s time for the facility to expand.

Before the existing building is farewelled, current and former students, families, educators, staff and the local community are invited to share their memories of McLeans Road Kindergarten.

If you have any photos, newsletters, newspaper articles or other gems that showcase the history of the kindergarten since it opened in 1977, Council would love to see them.
