1. Overview

You can register your child for the 2026 Kindergarten 1 (K1) admission to an MOE Kindergarten (MK) if your child is:
  • A Singapore Citizen (SC) or Permanent Resident (PR); and
  • Born between 2 January 2021 and 1 January 2022, both dates inclusive.
MK@Pioneer will be opening in 2026 and will only have K1 classes.
You can contact your preferred MK directly if:

Your child's birthday falls on 1 January 2021
They are due for K1 in 2025. However, this will mean that they will attend K1 one year earlier than their peers born in the same year.

If you want your child to start K1 in 2026 instead, you can contact your preferred MK directly for assistance.
You are registering your SC/PR child for K2 admission
K2 admission is subject to the availability of places.
You are an SC parent with a child who is an international student
Your child may be considered for admission if there are vacancies remaining in the MK after all SC and PR children have been admitted. Admission is not guaranteed due to limited vacancies.
