    To start Four-Year-Old Kindergarten, your child must turn 4 by 30 April in the year they will attend kindergarten.
    Families with children born between January and April can choose which year to start Three-Year-Old Kindergarten. These children can start in the same year they turn 3, or in the year they turn 4 years of age. Find out more by visiting Sending your child to kinder on the Victorian Government website.
