Notification of the allocation of places
The Frankston City Council and Wonnai Preschool Enrolment Officers will notify each family in late 2024 regarding the success of your application.If your child is offered a place at Wonnai Preschool then the offer must be accepted with a non-refundable deposit payable to the preschool.
If your child is initially unsuccessful in securing a place at Wonnai Preschool you will be notified and provided with waiting list details.
4 year old GROUP ALLOCATION
Wonnai Preschool will make every effort to meet family preferences for group allocation where possible. Families that have accepted a first round offer will have priority of group preference over subsequent second and third round offers of enrolment. Where there is an overwhelming preference for one group, Wonnai Preschool may apply a ballot system for allocating children to groups. In line with the Preschool’s Inclusion and Equity Policy, educators and the Committee of Management may guide or determine the placement of an individual child as the need arises (for example to ensure gender balance across a group, or to cater for children with special needs).
3 Year old KINDER PROGRAM
Note that to be eligible for entry into 3 year old preschool a child must turn 3 years of age by April 30 to coincide with school entry. A child must be 3 years of age before they commence the program. For entry into the 4 year old program a child must turn 4 years of age by April 30 to coincide with school entry.
