Parents register with one KG during the Centralised Registration Dates

(i.e. 2 to 4 January 2025)

by submitting the RC / AP

and paying registration fee²

Parents refer to the K1-K3 vacancy information

released by EDB

after the Centralised Registration Dates

(i.e. from early February 2025) and apply for

admission to other KGs

Note:

1. If parents cannot submit the RC/AP to the KG which their child has been admitted to during the Centralised Registration Dates, the KG concerned may not be able to complete registration for their child. Hence, parents are required to submit application to EDB within the designated period.

2. If a child is admitted after the Centralised Registration Dates, his/her parent is still required to submit the RC/AP for registration. If the parent intends to change school for his/her child after registration with a KG, he/she is required to get back the RC/AP from the KG with which he/she has registered. Upon getting back the RC/AP from a KG, the KG concerned will no longer reserve the place for the child. Normally, the registration fee paid to the KG with which the parent has registered will not be refunded.
