Enrolment Enquiries
Registration for our Early Years Program (Long Day Care)
To register your child for childcare or integrated kindergarten please see the Children’s Services Integrated Registration and Enrolment (CSIRE) and fill out the registration form below.
To give yourself the best chance of a childcare or integrated kindergarten place:
– Select multiple centres (up to maximum of five), but only those centres that you are sure you would accept an offer from.
– Select multiple days of the week if you are not tied to specific working days & be flexible.
An offer of a place is only possible when your requirements match a centre’s vacancy.
Accepting an offer is a good idea, even if it does not match your exact needs.
Once you are already enrolled and attending a service, additional or more preferred days can be offered to you first.
Children can be registered for the waitlist any time after they are born. We encourage you to make an appointment and visit the service you might be interested in before registering. This is an opportunity to be sure of your preferences, meet the staff, learn about programs and see them in action.
If there are any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us or Council’s Waitlist Registration Officer:
CoPP Waitlist Registration Officer – Phone: 9209 6360 / Email: cccwaitinglist@portphillip.vic.gov.au
Offers Process
Upon being offered enrolment via email from the City of Port Phillip, families are required to acknowledge their offer within 48 hours, followed by payment of a non refundable deposit to secure their enrolment.
You will be required to commence care on the specific date as outlined in your offer. In the lead up to commencing care, families and their child will be invited to visit the service for two sessions of orientation to ensure a successful transition from home to care.
We now use Xplor for all enrolment information. If you do not have an existing Xplor Home account, the service will issue you a login to create your account.
