Wait List
Waitlist Disclaimer
Kirinari Early Childhood Centre has a very long waitlist, particularly for our younger age groups. Families may wait 12 months or longer for a place, and unfortunately, some families may not receive an offer at all.
Most vacancies become available at the beginning of the year, when children transition between rooms or leave for school. Vacancies throughout the year are uncommon, so families seeking a mid-year commencement should be aware that securing a place may be particularly difficult.
Offers depend on the availability of places in the appropriate age group, the days of care required, existing enrolments and our waitlist priorities. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee an enrolment, regardless of how long a child has been waiting.
We encourage families to join our waitlist as early as possible, but strongly recommend applying to other early childhood services as well. Please do not rely on a Kirinari place becoming available by your preferred start date.
- Places will be prioritised to UC students who can provide proof of their current enrolment at UC (half our places will initially be held for UC students)
- University staff members who are currently employed on a permanent, contractual or sessional basis will receive second priority
- Kirinari Early Childhood Centre employees
- University of Canberra Alumni
- The community.
