The total budget for the upgrades was $800,000, with $300,000 of that coming from the Victorian Government.
Upgrades across Baw Baw kinder facilities are expected to create 110 kinder places for four-year-olds and 40 new pre-kinder places.
In a media release Cr Cook said 66 of those four-year-old places would come from the Oak Street upgrades.
“The additional room will provide enough space for two groups of students, catering for up to 66 new places four-year old students, which will help to manage the increased demand for access to funded kindergarten places,” Cr Cook said.
