We recommend you do the following prior to registering for kindergarten:
Book a Tour to see our beautiful kindergarten, learn about our programs and ask questions
View the OCK session times and if you are looking for the current year, check out the availability below
View our Fees page for information on our fees and charges, and view fee subsidies eligibility criteria
learn about what our program offers, read about play based learning and understand how mixed age groups work
OCK is part of the Central Registration and Enrolment System (CRES), which is managed by the Glen Eira City Council.
This system makes enquiring about places, registering and enrolling your child easy and fair.
You can use one form to register your interest in several kindergarten programs.
If you are registering for next year, you need to:
Register with Glen Eira Council from the 1st May
Lookout for an offer of a place around June/July
Your offer will contain all timetable options available for you. When you respond to your offer, you will be asked to nominate the days/timetable you prefer. Sessions are allocated based on when you respond to your offer, so respond quickly!
Please respond to your offer even if you no longer wish to take up the place.
By August/September your group will be confirmed. This is after all offer rounds are complete.
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.
Once your timetable/days have been confirmed, you will be send information about Starting kinder. You will be provided comprehensive orientation, and enrolment information and will be asked to provide detailed information about your child and your family
