Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. The parents begin by registering interest via the Little Paddington website. They’ll need to enter basic details such as the child’s full name, date of birth, preferred centre and contact information.
2. After that, parents are often invited for a centre visit or tour. During the visit, the parents can see facilities, meet centre staff, and see the classrooms and outdoor play areas. This helps them decide whether the campus suits your child’s needs.
3. Once the parents decide to enrol, they can choose a preferred slot (morning or afternoon, full-day or half-day where available) and complete the required registration/enrolment forms.
4. They’ll need to confirm your child’s eligibility (by age) for the specific programme (Infant Care, Playgroup, Pre-Nursery, Nursery, K1, K2). Ratios and age cut-offs are determined as of December 31 of the child’s birth year.
5. Finally, payment arrangements are set up. Fees must be paid via methods specified by the school (e.g. eGIRO) and they may also need to pay registration/deposit/uniform fees (if applicable), though exact amounts for these are not disclosed on the Stirling page.
The school does not publicly disclose information about whether it operates a formal waitlist or pool system for admissions at the Stirling campus.
