This March, Brimbank council is hosting a series of kindergarten open days and face-to-face information sessions to help families register their children for sessional kindergarten.
The sessions are being held as part of Kindergarten Readiness Month with locals encouraged to explore kindergartens in their area, meet teachers, ask questions and gather necessary information.
Parents will also be able to learn more about the registration process for three and four-year-old funded sessional kindergarten in Brimbank.
“Every child deserves the best possible foundation for a lifetime of learning. Three and four-year-old kindergarten provides a wonderful start,” mayor Thuy Dang said.
“At kindergarten, children learn skills for life, including creative thinking, social and emotional skills, and early literacy and language skills through play-based learning.
“Starting kindergarten is a big step for both children and their families, so join the Kinder Readiness Month activities to help make the transition to kinder as smooth as possible.”
Registrations for three and four-year-old sessional kindergarten are administered by council and can be completed online.
There are limited sessional kindergarten places and council uses a priority of access criteria in line with the Department of Education’s Central Registration and Enrolment Scheme Best Practice Guidelines to place children.
