FAQ

What is "Big B" and "Small B"?▼

Big B refers to children born early in the year (Jan-Apr), who are older at enrollment. Small B refers to those born late in the year (Sep-Dec), who are younger. Since classmates can differ by nearly a year in age, Big B children are typically more developmentally mature.

Can I apply to multiple kindergartens?▼

Yes, you can apply to multiple kindergartens, but you can only register at one. Each child receives only one "Kindergarten Admission Registration Certificate" - this is the "one certificate, one school" principle.

What if I miss the application period?▼

After the unified registration dates (Jan 8-10), you can inquire about remaining places at kindergartens from late January. Some schools accept applications year-round.

How to choose between PN and K1?▼

PN class (Pre-Nursery) helps children adapt to school earlier, typically accepting 2-year-olds. Some schools give priority admission to K1 for their PN students. K1 is the start of formal kindergarten curriculum, with enrollment age of 2 years 8 months.
