Nillumbik Preschool Application Form
Please complete the following form to register your child to attend kindergarten at a preschool service in Nillumbik’s central registration system.

To find your nearest preschool, use our interactive Early Years Services map.

Registering to attend kindergarten at a sessional stand-alone preschool in Nillumbik is free. Families are encouraged to register for 3-year-old and 4-year-old kindergarten at the same time.

Before you begin

Before commencing the registration process, please ensure you have the following information:
- Child and parent/guardian (applicant) contact information
- Preschool preferences (we recommend choosing 3 services)
- Supporting documentation applicable to the Department of Education (DE) priority of access and Nillumbik Shire Council’s selection criteria.
We can only provide information to the parents/guardians listed on this registration.

Preschool places are allocated in accordance with the Department of Education (DE) priority of access the selection the selection criteria set out in Council’s Priority of Access and Offer Policy Guidelines. These guidelines are used to ensure all allocations to 3 and 4-year-old kindergarten through the Preschool Registration Scheme are fair and equitable.

Please note: The current Priority of Access and Offer Policy Guidelines is undergoing a review. Nillumbik Shire Council’s Preschool Registrations Team will communicate the outcome of this review in due course. Families will have the opportunity to make any changes to their registration in response to the updated Priority of Access and Policy Guidelines prior to the close of registrations on 30 June.

With the introduction of funded kindergarten, we anticipate an increase in registrations for our preschool services which may result in more applications than available places. Families who do not receive a preschool offer will have the option to remain on a waitlist and the Preschool Registrations Team will contact you if a place becomes available. We understand this can be an anxious time for families and appreciate your patience as we work with you towards securing a placement for 2026.
