When to register a child for kindergarten
To be eligible to attend a kindergarten service, your child must be three or four years old by 30 April of the year they start kindergarten.
Families can register their child for kindergarten in the year before they are eligible to attend 3-year-old or 4-year-old kindergarten.
To be considered in first round kindergarten offers, families must register their child by the 30 May in the year before they attend kindergarten.
All registrations received after the offer commencement stage will be considered in later rounds, due to high demand you may not receive an offer for your most preferred kindergartens.
Choosing kindergartens
We strongly recommend you choose 5 or more kindergartens. Because of high demand, we cannot always guarantee you will get your most preferred kindergarten. If you only provide 1 choice and it is not available, your child may have to attend kindergarten late or may miss out on a place at that kindergarten.

Visit a kindergarten before you choose
Choosing preferred kindergartens can be difficult. Feel free to visit a few kindergartens before making a choice. Please contact the kindergarten directly to make an appointment before your visit.
The Victorian Department of Education and Training has a list of things to look out for during your kindergarten visit.
