4YO Kindergarten Enrolment Process

Have you enrolled your child for next year? Applications closed 30th June for first round offers. If you put in an application after 1 July, it will be processed after third-round offers have been finalised (usually mid-August).

What happens next

Monash Council will send out First round offers around mid July to families. First-round offers are emailed (followed by an SMS reminder) to parents/guardians, and you have 7 days to respond to the offer, or it is withdrawn. First-round offers are only sent to people who live in Monash. Second and third-round offers are emailed in the following weeks with the same 7-day response time. These offers are also open to people who do not live in Monash. Late applications are processed and sent an offer if vacancies are still available after the closure of third-round offers.

Kindergartens are then notified of acceptances.

Enrolment confirmation - The kindergarten will then contact you to finalise enrolment information specific to their centre and to discuss starting date/time and what to expect.

If you have any questions about the process, please call the Kindergarten Support Officer at the City of Monash on 9518 3555.
