Registrations at other local kindergartens can be made directly with those groups.
Councillor for Community Health and Wellbeing Troy Bailey said kindergartens provide a range of experiences to help three and four-year-old children develop and learn before starting school.
"Those years before starting school are important in developing social skills and encouraging a love of learning," Cr Bailey said.
"We are very fortunate to have some amazing kindergartens available across our community."
