Kindergarten is an early childhood education program delivered by qualified early childhood teachers in sessional kindergartens, childcare centres and some independent schools.
Kindergarten programs are designed to engage and encourage a love of learning. They provide children with a broad range of play-based experiences that are responsive to their interests, ideas, strengths and abilities.
For more information, please see:
Families can enrol and view their application details from home at any time. You can also update your details and change your kindergarten preference at any time.
Kindergartens operating from Council buildings are required to give preference to children of Monash residents and ratepayers when allocating or offering kindergarten places.
A great opportunity for families to explore your local kindergartens, speak to the staff and discuss the quality programs each kindergarten has to offer before finalising your group selections for 2026.
Children who are deferred must be withdrawn from the program before the Government Data Collection counts the child as attending for the year, which is at the end of the first term
