To help you and your service prepare for enrolments for 2026 kindergarten programs, we have developed a 2026 Enrolment communications pack.
The pack will help you to promote the importance of enrolling in kindergarten to your community.
It includes:
- newsletter, website and app sample text
- social media tiles and sample posts
- talking points for conversations with families
- links to further resources.
Ensuring families understand how to enrol and what they can expect to receive from your service is particularly important in 2026 with Pre-Prep rolling out to 12 more local government areas, as well as to children across Victoria who:
- identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander
- come from a refugee or asylum seeker background
- have had contact with Child Protection services.
The 2026 Enrolment communications pack is available on the Communicating about your kindergarten web page.
There is also a Marketing Toolkit available to help you to promote 2026 enrolments. It includes brochures, posters, postcards, factsheets and social media tiles. You can download these resources or order hard copies from the Victorian Kindergarten Resources Portal.
