    • Non Priority Cohort - Map 
    • Please note, this timetable is provisional and is subject to change dependant on State policy and operational requirements of the kindergartens. This includes the addition and cancellation of groups as well as changes to group numbers and types (for example to a mixed-age group). Please see the website for the updated timetable.

      This is a registration form only and does not guarantee a kindergarten placement.

      *Mixed-Age Groups – Bring together children aged three to four years old, providing a unique opportunity for learning and development, offering 15 hours each week. Mixed Age group options have the Group name and age represented as “Group Name – 3YO” or “Group Name – 4YO"

      **Rotational Groups – In rotational groups your child will still enjoy 15 hours of kindergarten on the same days each week. Children are allocated into smaller groups which are combined together on a particular day to form a larger group. This allows your child to build friendships and connections with a wider group of peers.
      For more information on the timetable please click here.

      Due to the introduction of FREE kindergarten, there are limited spaces in some areas and there is no guarantee that your child will get a place. To maximise your chances, please select up to 3 kindergarten preferences.
