Registering For Kinder
Registering For Kinder
OCK is part of the Central Registration and Enrolment System (CRES), which is managed by the Glen Eira City Council. This system makes registering and enrolling your child easy and fair. You can use one form to register your interest in several kindergarten programs. Please contact Glen Eira City Council on 03 9524 3333 for support with the registration and enrolment process.
Register for a first-round offer by 1st May. You can still register after that but registering in the first round gives you the best chance of getting a place in your preferred kinder program. Offers go out from the middle of June for the following kinder year.

Registering to start Kinder During the Kinder Year
If you looking for a place at kinder during the kinder year (from February to December) you will first need to check if there are any places available.
You can check availability of places by contacting Glen Eira Council. They can tell you availability for all kindergartens in Glen Eira, not just Ormond Community Kinder.
If there are no places currently available, you can go on the waitlist to join OCK. There is often movement throughout the year as families move in and out of the area.
If there is a place available, Glen Eira Council will send your details to OCK and we will email you an offer.
