Please read the pdf attachment at the bottom of this page and the Services/Kindergarten page for information for families using both our long day care and sessional kindergarten services.
A separate application form must be completed for each child in the case of multiple attendees. You must register for the exact year you want your child to commence in the sessional kindergarten service. If you would like your child to attend both 3yo and 4yo kindergarten, please select both years. It is not assumed that registering for 3yo automatically registers you for 4yo. Please read the Sessional Kindergarten Policy of the FAQ section of this website prior to applying for the waitlist. When you click "Submit" at the completion of your application, a confirmation notice will appear on the screen to notify you that your application has been received. A confirmation letter will be emailed to you (posted if you don't have an email address) within 14 days of your application to confirm your details. If you do not receive your confirmation letter, please contact our office (ph 9531 6563 or email info@poetsgrove.com) to check that your application has been received.
