ENROLMENT

3 year old enrolments

Am I eligible to apply for the 3 year old Kindergarten program?

To be eligible for Funded 3YO Kindergarten, children must turn 3 years of age or older by the 30th of April in the year they start kindergarten.

Enrolment applications for 3 year old Kindergarten will be accepted by the City of Kingston from the 1st of May in the year prior to the child attending the centre.

*** If you have previously submitted an application for 3YO Kinder directly via the Pre-School, please be assured that you have been added to the Council allocation list.

​

Is my child ready for 3 year old Kinder?

You can discuss your child’s readiness for the 3 year old program with our Pre-school teachers. Please contact the Kinder on 9584-2328 to arrange an appointment.

In particular, if your child is turning 3 before April in the year they are to commence 3 year old Kinder, you should discuss their readiness to participate in the 3 year old program, as there will no longer be the option to attend a second year of 3 year old Kinder.

Please also be aware that your child will not be permitted to attend the program unattended until they turn 3 years of age.

​

How do I apply for a position in the 3 year old program at the Pre-School?

All applications for the 3 year old Kindergarten program are made through the City of Kingston from the 1st of May in the year prior to your child commencing Pre-school.
