Determine when is the best time to start ELC

When your child starts at ELC/kindergarten directly relates to the age they will start at Primary School. Wanting the best possible outcomes for our students, NCC believes this can, in part, be achieved by our students being a little older when they start school, if they have a choice. To that end, our policy is that a child must have turned 5 by January 1, the year they start Primary School, rather than by the end of April. Please make note of this as you use the below tool.
