Greater Shepparton City Council coordinates the two years of kindergarten that your child is eligible to attend before starting school. Posters are available in English, Swahili, Arabic and Dari. Enrolment for children closes on 11 August.
There are kindergarten centres at a variety of locations, with varying programs and management structures. Each kindergarten centre establishes their own education and care program to reflect the needs of their community. They each set their own session times and term fees.
Council’s Early Years Department administers the enrolment policy and guidelines on behalf of our member kindergartens.
For information about the registration process, including important dates, priority of access, and registration requirements, see the Central Registration Policy page.
All kindergarten centres welcome and encourage parents to come and visit their unique programs. We encourage you to call and make a time with the educators, to ensure they are available to discuss your questions.
