Glen Education operate first year (3 year old) kindergarten and second year (4 year old) kindergarten programs on designated days and within specified times during school terms.
Children attend two days (15 hours) per week of kindergarten at no cost, and at certain Glen Education kindergartens, children may attend additional days at a cost to families. To find out which specific days/times are offered at our kindergartens, we recommend viewing our timetables. Please note that the 2 days Free Funded kindergarten is only available at one kindergarten.
Availability of session days is contingent upon strong enrolments, and adjustments to the timtable may occur if enrolment numbers do not meet the required level.
Due to the high demand for our programs, many sessions are currently at full capacity for 2025. To inquire about availability, please contact our Customer Relations Team at: enrolments@gleneducation.org.au.
We offer a range of attendance options, allowing children of varying ages to join together rather than adhering strictly to age-based separation. This means that children aged three to five can attend together on the same day or within the same rotational group. To learn more about the advantages of our multi-age program, please visit our FAQ pages.
Our educational teams are skilled at providing an individualised program to support the unique learning requirements of children, aligning with the National Early Years Framework (2022) for Education and Care.
Visit our enrolments overview page to learn when your child should commence kindergarten and other useful enrolment information.
Note, Glen Murrumbeena Kindergarten’s lease is set to expire at the end of 2025. We will be operating in 2025, providing a minimum of 15 hours per week of kindergarten for both 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds. While we are actively working towards continuing a kindergarten program in Murrumbeena for 2026 and beyond, we are presently unable to confirm whether the kindergarten program will extend beyond 2025 at this stage.

Orientation Information
Children commencing at the beginning of the kindergarten year will be offered a staggered-start timetable for several weeks before normal sessions commence. This enables a gradual adjustment to the environment and to facilitate a positive transition.
Families will also be invited to attend an Information Evening and Welcome Afternoon prior to the commencement of the kindergarten year. These events provide an opportunity to meet the educational team, become familiar with the kindergarten environment, learn more about the flexible program, what your child needs to bring and to submit all enrolment documentation.
Children enrolling mid-year, will be invited to visit the kindergarten for a short period of time before their confirmed start date to become familiar with their surroundings and to establish a connection with educators.
