- The kindergarten registration window is set for January 12–16, 2026, marking the official period for families to register their children for public kindergartens for the 2026–27 school year.
This registration window is particularly important as it is the only opportunity for families to secure a place for their children in public kindergartens. After these dates, no new class sections will be approved, meaning that families who miss this deadline will need to register at the nearest school that has available spots.
Kindergarten registration: Registration for Compulsory Pre-Primary Education
For children born between September 1, 2021, and April 30, 2022, parents must ensure they register on time to avoid complications. In the event that a child of compulsory age fails to register during the allotted window, parents can email the required documents along with a brief explanation to their district education office. The office will then communicate with the relevant schools regarding the child’s registration.
Transfer Protocols
The same registration period applies to transfers for children of compulsory age. Requests for transfers will be reviewed between January 20 and 31, with notifications sent to families by February 6. Parents can expect updates from schools by February 11, and they will have the opportunity to submit appeals until March 31.
Process for Younger Children
For younger children aged 3 to 4 years and 4 months, born between May 1, 2022, and August 31, 2023, applications can also be submitted during the same registration period. Families will need to complete the required form, which should be placed in sealed envelopes and submitted into the school’s collection box.
Priority for this age group will be given to children residing in the school’s catchment area. It is important to note that transfers for this age group are not permitted, and there is no guarantee of a place in future years for out-of-zone placements.
Accessing Information
All necessary forms, as well as lists of schools, can be found on the education ministry’s website. For families looking for detailed information on the registration process, visiting this link will provide all the relevant updates and instructions.
