Children who turn four on or before 30 April are entitled to 15 hours of free preschool a week at an ACT public school. In the ACT, if your child turns four on or before 30 April, they can start preschool the first day of term 1 that year. If your child turns four after 30 April, they can start preschool the first day of term 1 the following year. Should you have any questions about your child's readiness for preschool, please make an appointment with one of the preschool teachers or the school's Principal or Deputy Principal.
Your local public school has a place for your child to learn, develop and reach their potential. Online enrolment in the ACT can be made for preschool using the online enrolment form .
Once you have received an offer of place, you can then confirm the enrolment by providing proof identity and proof residence documents (100 points of identification for the address listed on the application).
