2026
3yo and 4yo Kindergarten Applications will only be accepted for children
turning 3 or 4 years of age by 30 of April 2026.
Please Note: If you have
applied for a 2026 3yo or 4yo kindergarten between 1 April and 30 of June, you can
no longer make any changes to your kindergarten preferences. The system is closed
in preparation for allocations. Families will receive their email by the end of
August. If you applied from 1 July, families will receive their
emails by the end of September 2025.
Note: If you are
applying for your child to have another funded year of 4-year-old
kindergarten, please contact our office first to discuss. Children
can only have one year of funded 4-year-old kindergarten, unless the child has
been assessed by the kindergarten teacher to be eligible and meets the criteria
and the application has been submitted to the Department of Education for
approval. Email: centralenroments@merri-bek.vic.gov.au or telephone
