Registrations for three and four-year-old kindergarten in 2025 are now open, with local families encouraged to enrol their children now.
Families with children aged three or four this year can now register for kindergarten in 2025 through the Central Goldfields Shire Centralised Kindergarten Registration Program.
Kindergarten gives children important opportunities to learn, make friends and develop skills through play-based curriculum, and helps prepare them for primary school.
All seven kindergartens in the Central Goldfields Shire are participating in the Centralised Kindergarten Registration Program. Families can apply using one form to choose from the following kindergartens:
• A.G. Leech Kindergarten
• Back Creek Kinder (Talbot)
• Californian Gully Kindergarten
• Dunolly Kindergarten
• Goldfields Family Centre
• Roseberry House EarlyLearning Centre
• T.L. Stone MemorialKindergarten
Central Goldfields Shire manager children and families Carolyn Bartholomeusz said the Centralised Kindergarten Registration Program makes it simple and convenient for families to register their children into local kindergartens.
“Kinder education provides huge benefits for children’s health and wellbeing, social skills and confidence giving them a great foundation for the future,” she said.
“The central registration process continues to be refined every year to manage kindergarten placements and ensure a fair and transparent process for families and centres.”
Registrations collected during round one will be processed after Friday, July 12, following the priority of access guidelines, before the second round of kinder intake opens on Monday, September 9.
The Nest is available to assist families with their kindergarten registrations and is open Monday to Friday, 10 am to 12 noon and 1 to 3 pm and is located opposite the Maryborough Regional Library at 91 Nolan Street, Maryborough.
If parents and carers haven’t visited local kindergarten open days over the past month, they are encouraged to contact the kindergartens directly to arrange a time.
