Enrolment Procedure
Where the number of children applying exceeds the number of places available, names will be placed on a waiting list.
The CELC selection process is determined by the Priority of Access Guidelines set by Family Assistance Law, and Early Childhood Education and Care Grants Program, under the NSW State Government Funding Agreements.
Step 1:Expression of Interest Form |
To get started contact us today on (02) 8869 7250 to express your interest in enrolling your child. We recommend you contact us early to avoid disappointment and secure a position as places are limited and fill fast. Please note that enrolment in a Catholic Early Learning Centre DOES NOT guarantee enrolment in Kindergarten at a Catholic Primary School. Families are required to go through a separate orientation and enrolment process with their chosen Catholic Primary School. |
Step 2:Orientation |
Once a place is offered to your child at the CELC, you are encouraged to visit the CELC for an enrolment appointment/orientation. To complete the enrolment process, you will be asked to pay a non-refundable enrolment fee of $40 per child. |
Step 3:Enrolment Form |
Parents will be asked to complete and submit an enrolment form that includes all information required under relevant regulatory and legislative frameworks was well as a number of authorisations and health information about your child including:
This helps CELC staff to have background information to provide the best education and care for each child. Where the parent/carer is of non-English speaking background, arrangements will be made for these forms to be translated into the parent’s/carer’s home language and if necessary an interpreter service will be contacted.
