APPLICATIONS are now open for 2018 four-year-old sessional kindergarten places via Kingston Council’s central enrolment system.
The central enrolment point covers 27 kindergartens and allocates places based on set criteria.
Parents can nominate a top three preferred kindergartens. Over the past three years, 97 per cent of families received a place at their first choice kindergarten.
Applications for the 2018 first round allocation will be accepted until 30 June.
“Places are prioritised based on a set of criteria including proximity and prior connection to the kindergarten,” Kingston mayor Cr David Eden said.
To be eligible for funded four-year-old sessional kindergarten children must turn four by 30 April in the year they start kindergarten.
For more information about early years enrolment options, or to complete an enrolment application form, see kingston.vic.gov.au/kindergarten or call 1300 653 356.
