Is your child looking forward to all the excitement of becoming a kindergarten kid next year?
If they are turning 3 or 4 years old by April 30, 2024 then Melton council is encouraging them to get ready now during Kindergarten Readiness Month.
To help families prepare for the transition into preschool education, Melton council together with local kindergarten providers will run a face-to-face open week and online information sessions ahead of 2024 kindergarten registrations opening at the end of March.
Melton Mayor Lara Carli said all families have questions when preparing for kindergarten.
“Starting kindergarten is a big step for both children and their families, so it’s important to choose one you’re all comfortable with,” she said.
“The open week is a wonderful chance for parents and carers to meet educators, ask questions and help prepare their child for kindergarten.
“I’d encourage families to join the local Kindergarten Readiness Month activities to help make the transition as smooth as possible.”
As part of Kindergarten Readiness Month, information sessions will be held online on Tuesday March 14 and Thursday March 16, and Kindergarten Open Week will run from Monday, March 20 until Friday March 24.
2024 kindergarten registrations open Wednesday 29 March.
