Baw Baw Shire Council is building a new $3.2 million  Early Learning Centre to be co-located at the Warragul Primary School. Once constructed, the new facility will contain multi-use rooms tailored for kindergarten and play group use during school hours, allied health and early childhood intervention services during the day and with the ability to provide a community hub outside of these times.

When completed in 2019 the Warragul Early Learning Centre (ELC) project will provide an additional 132 kindergarten places.The ELC is much needed as the population is booming with many new families coming into the city in recent years.
