2027 Three-Year-Old and Four-Year-Old Kindergarten registrations now open

There are over 30 kindergarten services offered in Greater Shepparton, spanning across the municipality. Service locations vary and different programs are available to suit individual needs of children and their families. A full list of providers is available online.

Registration for Three‑Year‑Old Kindergarten (two years before school) will follow the same central process as Four‑Year‑Old Kindergarten (one year before school). Families will be allocated a place with a service provider in line with the Access Criteria Guidelines.

Three-Year-Old and Four-Year-Old Kindergarten is free or low cost for families that meet the eligibility criteria. If your child attends a kindergarten program in a long day care centre, fees may still apply. For more details, contact your early childhood service.

Council’s Manager Early Years Operation and Reform, Stacey East encouraged families to register their child to secure their place for 2027.

“Kindergarten programs are essential to a child’s development. Parents and carers across Greater Shepparton are encouraged to visit Council’s website, find out more information and register their child to secure their place in kindergarten for 2027,” she said.

Registrations are open from now until Friday 7 August 2026. Council facilitates kindergarten registrations for most funded kindergarten programs in Greater Shepparton.
