Enrolment
We may have a limited number of places still available for 2026. For more details or to book a tour, please contact Estrella on 03 9885 5398 or director@estrella.vic.edu.au.

How to enrol?
Estrella is situated in the Boroondara Council Municipality; the council manages all Kindergarten registrations in the Boroondara area. You can submit an expression of interest for kindergarten for your child from birth. This enables you to receive important updates including when to officially register and enrol your child in Kinder. Registrations open 1 May to 30 June each year for attendance the following year.
For more information, visit the Boroondara Kindergarten website, contact the council on (03) 9278 4444 or email kindergarten@boroondara.vic.gov.au
You can also contact Estrella for general enquires via phone (03 9885 5398) or email director@estrella.vic.gov.au.
Repeating Kindergarten
From 2026 children can apply to access an additional year of either:
Three-year-old Kindergarten
Pre-Prep (or Four-year-old Kindergarten for children not eligible for Pre-Prep).
The teacher needs to declare that your child is eligible to receive an additional year of funding and a new registration will need to be submitted. Learn more at Additional year of funded 3-year old or 4-year old kindergarten on the Boroondara website.
“I could not fault anything on our enrolment and orientation process at Estrella this year. The absolute joy our son has at attending Red Group underlines this.”

Voluntary Contributions
The Victorian Government have implemented a “free” kinder programme for 3 year old and 4 year old kinder.
Voluntary contributions are sought from families to supplment the minimum government funding to allow us to continue providing the wonderfully rich and diverse Estrella Additional Activities Program – which includes cooking, science, art, incursions, excursions, First Nations education, drama, music, resilience training and bushland biodiversity projects.
Within weeks of starting at Estrella, my (then) 3 year old decided that Day Care was no longer interesting and only wanted to go to Kinder full-time. She is so excited to get up and out of the door for Kinder days.
