Melton holds Kindergarten Readiness Month

Melton council is holding information sessions for parents with little ones aged three-to-four-years-old that are ready for kindergarten.

This is part of Melton’s Kinder Readiness Month, which will also have an open week over the next month to provide parents with information about the registration process and the chance to tour kindergarten facilities.

Parents are invited to come and explore their local kindergartens during this time.

Open week will run from Tuesday, March 11 to Thursday, March 13.

Families are invited to come and explore kindergartens, meet the teachers and ask questions to help decide if it’s the best fit for your child.

Registrations for kindergarten in 2026 will open on Wednesday, March 19. Some places still have registrations available for 2025 intake.

“Starting kinder is a big step for families and we are here to help you prepare for the transition and to choose an option that best suits your child,” Melton mayor Steve Abboushi said.

“If you have a child who is ready for kinder, I encourage you to come and meet our wonderful educators across the City of Melton and find out more about the registration process.”
