3-year-old enrolments
For children to attend a 3-year-old kindergarten program they must turn 3 by the 31st of April the year they plan to attend. Children who turn 3 between the 1st of February and 31st April are required to wait to attend onsite until they have turned 3 years old. If your child is enrolled at our service but cannot attend part or all of term 1 due to their age, you will not be charged fees until their birthday and then on a pro rata basis.
As part of the State Government’s Kindergarten Reform, every Victorian three-year-old child will be able to access a minimum of five hours per week of funded three-year-old kindergarten, progressively scaling up to 15 hours per week by 2029.
To ensure every child has access to a kindergarten placement each service must only increase 3-year-old sessional kinder hours where it does not affect the capacity of its service. Because of this some services will move directly to 15 hours for its 3-year-old program while others will offer less.
To enrol from 2023 or 2024 please follow the link to The City Whittlesea.
