Register for MOE Kindergarten

5. Documents required after accepting offer

Based on your submission of the registration form during the MOE Kindergarten (MK) registration exercise, the MK may contact you to submit supporting documents after acceptance (where applicable).

If your application is subsequently found to be ineligible for Priority Order 1 admission based on the supporting documents you have submitted to the MK after acceptance of offer, MOE reserves the right to require your child to give up the place allocated under the MK Registration Exercise.
If you have registered with an address you are moving into

  • You will be contacted to submit the following depending on your property types:
    • For HDB Flat: A copy of the Agreement For Lease (AFL), which can be downloaded from My HDBPage.
    • For private property: A copy of the Sales and Purchase agreement.

  • You will be contacted to submit the following depending on your property types:
    • For HDB Flat: A printout of the resale flat status from the HDB Flat Portal. It must indicate that HDB has received your application to buy a resale flat.
    • For private property: The exercised Option-To-Purchase (OTP) and buyer's Stamp Duty Certificate.
If you have registered with a caregiver's address

The caregiver must be:

  • The child’s grandparent, or a sibling of the child’s parent.
  • Living within 1km from the MK.

During registration, you are required to declare that you want to use the address of a caregiver.

You will be contacted to submit:

  • Caregiver’s NRIC.
  • Birth certificate of parent and of the parent’s sibling, if applicable.

If balloting is required, and your caregiver’s address is within 500m of the MK, your child will be balloted with those of the same citizenship living between 500m and 1km.

If you are unwed or widowed

During registration, you are required to declare your martial status, and will be contacted to submit:

  • Marriage Record Search from the Registry of Marriage or Registry of Muslim Marriage, indicating that the child’s parents were not married.
  • Death certificate where one parent is deceased.
If you are divorced or separated

Sole Custody

As the parent with sole custody, you may register your child for K1 in an MK.

You will be contacted to submit:

  • The Court Order setting out the custody arrangement. Ensure that the names of the child and parents, and the custody granted are clearly visible in your submission.

During registration, you are required to declare that if there is a dispute about your child's enrolment that cannot be resolved, MOE reserves the right to remove your child from the MK.

Joint Custody

You will need to agree on the choice of school for your child. Only one parent is required to submit the registration form.

During registration, you are required to declare that you have sought consent from the other parent to register your child for MK.

If you and your current or former spouse cannot agree on the choice of school for your child, you may apply for a Court Order from the Family Justice Courts or the Syariah Court. If you are represented by a lawyer, you may wish to approach your lawyer to apply for a Court Order. As the timeline for registration is tight, try to do so at least 3 months ahead of your child's MK registration.

We will process the child’s registration based on the choices made by the parent authorised in the Court Order.

If there is a dispute about your child’s enrolment that cannot be resolved, MOE reserves the right to remove your child from the MK.

If your child has not received at least one dose of measles and 3 doses of diphtheria (primary series) vaccinations

You will be contacted to:

  • Contact any polyclinic or private clinic to schedule an appointment for your child’s vaccination.
  • Furnish the official records downloaded from National Immunisation Registry (NIR) as proof of vaccination, if required. Alternatively, you may provide your child’s proof of vaccination by accessing your Singpass app (select ‘My Profile’, followed by ‘Family’ and the information is available under the field ‘Fulfilled Preschool Vaccination Minimum Requirement’). Health Booklet records will not be accepted.
