• Geelong West Kindergarten Application Form

  • Thank you for choosing Geelong West kindergarten for the care and education of your child.

    Please note, this is an application form only. It is not confirmation of a kindergarten place.

    Applications will incur a non-refundable $30 application fee via credit card.

    Kindergarten places are allocated to eligible children in accordance with the Department of Education Priority of Access and our Locally Agreed Criteria.  See our website for more details.

    When to start kindergarten:

    Please note that your child cannot start kindergarten until they have had their third birthday.

    Three year old kindergarten - Government Funded Program

    • Children must be three years old to attend Three-Year-Old Kindergarten.
    • Families with children born between January and April are strongly recommended to consider the best time for their child to access Three-Year-Old kindergarten, as this will impact on their one year of Four-Year-Old kindergarten and their school starting age. e.g. If you access Three-Year-Old Kindergarten in 2026, your child will transition to Four-Year-Old Kindergarten in 2027, then school in 2028.

    Four year old kindergarten - Government Funded Program

    • Children must be four years old by 30 April in the year they are attending kindergarten to be eligible.
    • Children will only be able to access one year of Government Funded Four-Year-Old Kindergarten and will transition to school the following year, unless your child is assessed as being eligible for a second year of Four-Year-Old Kindergarten (when a child shows delays in at least two key outcomes of learning and development as assessed by your child’s kindergarten teacher).
