Enrolment Registration Dates
The Mornington Peninsula Shire Early Years Team has advised they are in the process of reviewing the kindergarten registration policy and procedure, including a new system to manage the registration and allocation process.
As a result, there are also changes to the registration timelines this year.
2026 on-time registrations will open from 1 May and close 2 July
Any applications received after the registration period has closed will be placed on a holding list. The holding list will be used once applications received during the registration period have been allocated places.
