3-Year-Old Kindergarten

3-year-old enrolments are processed by the kindergarten.

2009: Places for 2009 are fully allocated, and we are no longer taking applications.

2010: Applications for 2010 open at 9am on March 2nd, 2009 (early applications will not be accepted).

Unfortunately, our local kindergartens are unable to offer enough 3YO places to meet demand, so we regret that we cannot guarantee a place for every child. Our policy is to give all families an equal chance by offering places strictly "first in, first served" from the designated enrolment date (i.e. March 2nd, 2009 for 2010 places). For full details, please view our 3YO enrolment policy.

PLEASE NOTE:

• To apply for the 3 y.o program, your child must turn 3 years old by 31 January of the year they are to attend.
• Preference will be given to children who nominate Bentleigh West Kindergarten as their first preference for four year old kindergarten, through the City of Glen Eira Central Enrolment Scheme.  This will be confirmed with the Glen Eira Council Kindergarten Enrolment list.
  
• Completed application forms and a non-refundable application fee of $10 (cash only please) should be submitted in person at the kindergarten.
• Your application may be submitted by a proxy (e.g. a relative or friend).
• Each person may submit applications for a maximum of two families.
• Places will be offered based on the order of receipt.
• A receipt and acknowledgement letter showing your application number will be sent shortly after your application.
• First round offer letters will be sent in June/July.

2010 application forms can be downloaded here.
