Applying to several kindergartens can still leave the registration certificate unfinished. Treat the school and certificate applications as separate items.
What to have ready
Before you start
Scheme kindergartens involve a registration certificate or relevant admission-permission arrangement. Check the child's status with EDB requirements and use the correct school-year guidance for admissions and electronic certificates.
What to do, step by step
- Check EDB's K1 arrangements for the intended intake.
- Prepare and submit the certificate application through an applicable channel.
- Apply to individual kindergartens separately and check interviews and admissions requirements.
- Register within the specified period using the certificate or applicable document and retain confirmation.
Costs, timing, and things to check
A school offer does not prove certificate approval. Follow up missing documents early.
Check withdrawal and re-registration procedures if changing schools rather than assuming the document can secure multiple places.
Track school and certificate applications separately and keep confirmations.
