2026 Enrolments are OPEN!
Register for kindergarten using our Central Registration Scheme (CRS) from 1 April for the following year attendance. Please note: we are currently communicated on this link as ROWVILLE PRESCHOOL.
In Victoria, children are eligible to attend State Government-funded kindergarten programs based on specific age criteria and guidelines:
Age Eligibility for Kindergarten
- Three-Year-Old Kindergarten: Children must turn three years old on or before April 30 in the year they attend. If a child turns three between January 1 and April 30, they can start attending after their third birthday. Children born after April 30 will be eligible the following year.
- Four-Year-Old Kindergarten: Children must turn four years old on or before April 30 in the year they attend.
Families with children born between January and April have the option to choose which year their child starts Three-Year-Old Kindergarten, considering the child’s readiness and the age they will start primary school.
You need to register your child each year for 3 and 4 year old kindergarten.
