Visiting a kindergarten you are considering will tell you a lot about the atmosphere, activities, facilities and how the staff interact with you and your child. This may help you decide whether the kindergarten is a good fit for your child.
If your child already goes to a child care centre, they may run information sessions for parents about their kindergarten programs.
Most kindergartens welcome enquiries throughout the year and can arrange a time for you to visit. Member kindergartens part of the Boroondara Kindergarten Central Enrolment Scheme hold open days each year in May. You can also contact member kindergartens directly to arrange a time to visit. See Member kindergartens to find their contact details.
