Remarks:
  1. If parents cannot present the “2025/26 RC” to the KG their child has been admitted to during the “centralised registration dates”, the KG concerned may not be able to complete the registration for their child. Hence, parents are required to submit an application to the EDB within the designated period.
  2. For the application, parents must hand in the following child’s documents with the application fee :
    A completed application form, photo ID, birth certificate, immunization card and an envelope with stamp.
  3. If an applicant is admitted after the “centralised registration dates”, he/she is still required to submit the “2025/26 RC” for registration.
【If an applicant is required to get back the “2025/26 RC” from the KG with which has registered, the KG concerned will no longer reserve the place for the applicant. Normally, the registration fee paid to the KG with which the applicant has registered will not be refunded. 】
