Enrolment Requirement
ELC3 Boys must turn three years old by 30 April of their year of enrolment. They may commence in the Centre on or after their third birthday. ELC4 Boys must turn four years old by 30 April of their year of enrolment.
Commencement – Optional Transition Program
On commencement into both the 3 and 4 year old groups, we can offer a staggered intake for the first two weeks. This will provide the boys with the opportunity to establish themselves within the new environment, and become acquainted with their teachers and peers. For our 48 week long day care boys, we begin the year with a holiday program before the School year begins. This provides the boys with a more relaxed program to ease them in.
