Enrolment Information
What year will my child attend? Children can attend from 3 years of age!
Children can attend St Lucia Kindergarten from 3 to 5 years old. Some children attend one year of Kindy in their "official Kindy year" prior to Prep. Other children attend two years of Kindy, commencing with "early entry" as a 3 year old. We enjoy the benefits that this mixed age group brings and we love building relationships with those children over two years, not just one.
