Looking to enrol your child in kindergarten in the Glenelg Shire next year? It\u2019s time to start preparing their enrolment information.<\/p>\n
Council managed Kindergartens across the Glenelg Shire will soon be accepting enrolments for 2024, with three- and four-year-old kindergarten programs officially open for enrolment from Monday 8 May through to Friday 2 June 2023.<\/p>\n
Glenelg Shire Acting Children\u2019s Services Manager Shelley Bourke encouraged families to start considering which centre would best suit their child\u2019s learning needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cKindergarten is a vital step in a child\u2019s development journey. Encouraging a love of learning and developing strong social skills will assist children with their transition to primary school,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cCouncil offers both three-yearold and four-year-old programs at our early childhood education and care services right across the Glenelg Shire, including Dartmoor, Casterton, Heywood and Portland.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur services also participate in the State Government\u2019s free Kindergarten program, meaning your child can get the best start without any added financial stress.<\/p>\n
In the tough economic climate we know it will be reassuring for many households to know kindergarten will not leave them out of pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI remind families to mark the important Enrolment Period in their calendars and I look forward to welcoming many new and existing children to our kindergarten programs next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
