Registrations for three- and four-year-old kindergarten are now open for 2021.
Wyndham City's Family Friendly City Portfolio Holder, Cr Mia Shaw, urged parents and guardians to register to be included in the first round of offers.
"Kindergarten enrolments for 2021 need to be submitted by 31st May," Cr Shaw said.
"Kindergarten is an important part of a child's development. It helps children to develop communication skills that assist with reading and writing, gain confidence, develop a sense of responsibility and independence, make new friends and more."
"Research shows that high-quality early childhood, health and education services have huge benefits in terms of children's lifelong wellbeing."
"Wyndham has the second highest number of children enrolled in kinder in Victoria, and the children that go to these kindergartens are part of one our fastest growing age groups."
"To ensure you have the best opportunity of receiving a place at the location and session of your choice, we recommend putting your application in as soon as possible."
"That's why it's really important that parents start thinking of enrolling their kids in kindergarten now."
"It's important that everyone knows that it's not a first in best dressed situation. Council's system allocates places at kindergartens according to our established criteria."
