MRSC Kindergarten Application Form

Macedon Ranges Shire Council Kindergarten Registration Form
Deferral Form

Yes
If you would like to register your child for a Macedon Ranges Shire Kindergarten please complete the following form.

There are limited places available at our kindergartens. For the best chance of being offered a place, register your child by 31 May the year before they start kindergarten.

Late registrations will be accepted, but those received by 31 May are given priority in the allocation of places.

You can nominate up to three kindergartens that you would prefer your child to attend, if a place is available.

It is important to nominate more than one centre to maximise your chance of your child being offered a place.

Please Note:

This application does not guarantee a placement.

If registering for 2024 kindergarten, at the end you will be asked to pay a non refundable $42 waitlist fee via credit card.

Registration for 2025 kindergarten is free. This is due to grant funding from the Victorian Government Central Registration and Enrolment Schemes (CRES) Administrative Support Grants program.
