Pre Prep
From 2025 Four-Year-Old Kindergarten is gradually becoming Pre-Prep in stages as it is rolled out across the state. Access to Pre-Prep is determined by a range of factors – including your location and if your child is part of a priority group.
The Department of Education has developed an easy-to-use ‘Pre-Prep Calculator’ to help you check your child’s eligibility for Pre-Prep.
The new calculator will factor in your child’s birth date, local government area and priority group status to show their potential eligibility for kindergarten programs, including Four-Year-Old Kinder and Pre-Prep, the maximum numbers they are eligible for each week, and when they can start.
