Three- and four-year-old enrolments are processed through the Kindergarten Central Registration system conducted by Greater Dandenong Council. Registration is to be completed online on the Council’s website, or forms and information can be obtained from the Council office.
The Council’s website is below at the bottom of the page.
Registration will be taken during the registration period for children who are eligible to attend in the following year ie: Register in 2023 for attendance in 2024. Families will receive conformation that their application has been received.
Registrations can also be taken throughout the year for enrolment for the current year.
Any applications received after the registration period has closed will be placed on a holding list. The holding list will be used once applications received during the registration period have been allocated places.
Allocation of places generally commence around July – September, accepting or declining an offer is to be made directly to the Preschool or Council as per their letter of offer. Once an offer has been accepted, families will receive information regarding the enrolment day and procedures.
Your child can only access one funded kinder program at a time. This means that only one service can claim kindergarten funding for your child and pass on the Free Kinder savings. Free Kinder is for every Victorian child, regardless of visa status.
Children must turn three years of age before the 30th of April in the year of attendance to be eligible to attend. Proof of birth (ie: birth certificate, passport) and an up-to-date immunisation certificate will need to be provided to the Preschool prior to commencing.
Children must turn three before they can attend Preschool on their own. Prior arrangements will be made between the teacher and parents to organise three orientation days before the child’s third birthday.
