Registrations are now being accepted for both three and four-year-old kindergarten in 2024 with all City of Casey kindergarten sessions being free.

Next year, City of Casey kindergartens will be offering five hours of three-year-old kindergarten and 15 hours of four-year-old kindergarten.

To make it easier to plan ahead, this year families also have the option to choose their preferred kindergarten session at the time of registering.

Families will still be asked to list their preferred sessions but will know earlier in the year which session they have received.

Research shows that young children learn best through play and attending kindergarten helps them develop skills that are the foundation for all future learning.

The City of Casey manages 47 local kindergartens that offer individual programs unique to their local environment and community.
