Parents with kindergarten-aged children, it’s time to start looking ahead to 2025.

Attending kindergarten is an important step in a child’s development as they start to get ready for school. Children learn important skills through play in a safe and supportive environment. 

Throughout May, kindergartens in the Boroondara central registration scheme will invite families to attend open days at their centres. 

Follow these tips to get the most out of the kindergarten open day and registration period:

• Plan ahead so you can visit multiple kindergartens to get a sense of each one’s atmosphere.
• Talk to the teachers and find out about the activities and facilities they offer to help you find the one that best fits your child’s needs.
• Submit your registration for 2025 by 30 June.
• Submit 3 kindergarten preferences when registering. This gives your child a greater chance of being placed.

Bonus tip for younger children: Submit an expression of interest (EOI) for children not yet of kindergarten age. This can be submitted from birth and enables you to receive important updates from us, including information about when to register and attend open days. 

To find the list of open days, visit our kindergarten open days page or contact the Boroondara Families team on (03) 9278 4444.

To access the EOI and for more about the kindergarten registration process at our 27 member kindergartens, visit our kindergarten page.
