We invite you to ring your local kindergarten, to discuss enrolling your child and to arrange a visit. We encourage you and your child to visit the kindergarten(s) you are thinking of attending to experience the variety of environments on offer and get a feel for where your child is most settled.
We have 24 kindergartens across Dunedin – some are open during term time only, some are open all year, and most are open from 8.30am t0 2pm. Please visit the Kindergartens tab on our website for a list of all the kindergartens and their opening times.
Our kindergartens often have waiting lists, so it’s best to enrol your child early – before or around their 2nd birthday.
On this page you can indicate the kindergarten(s) you are interested in, your ideal attendance pattern and start date. One of our Head Teachers will then contact you direct, already knowing what you’re looking for.
When you are ready to enrol and a space has been confirmed for your child, we’ll ask you to complete a full enrolment form and bring in your child’s birth certificate.
Would a longer day kindergarten suit your family better?
Two of our all-year kindergartens are open from 8.30 until 5:00pm. Richard Hudson is located in Caversham and Kelsey Yaralla is located on the University Campus.
The two buttons below will take you to a form where you can provide information about your preferred attendance pattern and start date for these longer day kindergartens.
