Home Road Kindergarten

The Home Road Kindergarten is of local historic, social and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobsons Bay.

Historically, it is significant as an example of the new public infrastructure being built after WW2 in the City to match the growth in population and the number of children. (AHC criterion A4)

Aesthetically, it is significant as a rare example of Modernist design in the municipality where the latest architectural styles were employed in the new public buildings as a reflection of reform. It is notable for the distinctive triangular plan which illustrates the contemporary influences of concepts (non rectangular plan forms) employed by Modernist designers like Grounds, Boyd and McIntyre. (AHC criteria E1 and F1)

Socially, it significant for its association with public life over a near 50 year period. (AHC criterion G1)
