Timetable

NEW TIMETABLE FOR 2027!
In 2027, our 3-year-old program moves to two days per week, matching our 4-year-old program, with each child attending 15 hours per week (7.5 hours per session).

Dr Stanley Cochrane Memorial Kindergarten is also excited to offer children in our kindergarten program access to attend an additional paid day of kindergarten above the government funded 15 hours. Click here to learn more.

Our provisional 2027 timetable is available below:

We commence term one with a staggered start method. This gives the educators:

  • time to get to know your child and listen to your child.
  • time to be with a child who is not comfortable being left.
  • time to encourage children to be aware of others and treat them with respect.
  • time to explain age appropriate self-help skills.
  • time to establish routines – e.g. bathroom, snack time, pack up time.

These staggered session times for your child are detailed on the orientation timetable included in your welcome pack.

The Victorian Government Free Kinder initiative is available at Dr Stanley Cochrane Memorial Kindergarten. This means that our kinder program is free for our 3- and 4-year-old sessions in 2027. A $100 deposit is required to secure your child’s enrolment.
