Banyule Council manage central registrations for both 3-year-old and 4-year-old kindergarten. The process is done through our online registration form and parent portal. To attend 3-year- old kindergarten in 2024 your child must be born between 1 January 2020 and 30 April 2021. Your child must be 3 years of age by 30 April the year of attendance. As every child is different, we encourage you to carefully consider the year your child commences 3-year-old kindergarten as this may have an impact on the year they commence school. There is no repeating of 3 year old kindergarten as mandated by the Department of Education and Training (DET). To attend 4-year-old kindergarten in 2024 your child must be born between 1 January 2019 and 30 April 2020. Your child must be 4 years of age by 30 April the year of attendance. Children only qualify for a second year of funded 4 year old kindergarten if they meet at least two developmental delays as assessed by a teacher. Being young does not automatically qualify a child for a repeating year. Registrations for 3 and 4 year old kindergarten 2024 open from 8.30am, Wednesday 1 March 2023 via the online registration form at banyule.vic.gov.au/Kindergartens.
