How to send a child to kindergarten

It is possible to enroll to a kindergarten not only during the summer period when groups are formed but also within a year.

To be enrolled to a kindergarten, you need to visit it with a following documents:

1. Referral for enrollment (valid within 5 working days from the date of issuance).
2. National ID of one of the parents or legal representatives.
3. Childbirth certificate.
4. A child`s health passport.
5. Abstract on a child`s health condition.
6. Statement drawn up by a psychological/medical and pedagogical committee (for children with special educational needs).

The list of documents is complete for all types of pre-school organizations. It means that neither a national nor public kindergarten has a right to require any more documents upon a child`s enrollment.

Queue for kindergarten in cities moves slowly and sometimes you can reach your turn in several years just in time when a child is ready to go to kindergarten. That is why it is recommended to put a child into a waiting list to kindergarten after registration of birth.

The public service of placing pre-school children on a waiting list for a place in a pre-school organisation is automated and operates on a 24/7 basis and carries out a continuous process of distributing available places to applicants as new places become available.

You can put a child into a waiting list to kindergarten using one of the options:

• via online service on gov.kz Portal;
• via portals, links to which are published on the websites of education departments of akimats of cities and districts (for example, indigo24.kz, snation.kz, balabaqsha.open-almaty.kz, etc.).

To submit an application online, you need to open a separate service:

The documents specified in the Algorithm must be attached to the application.:

• certificate from the place of work of one of the parents;
• an electronic copy of the PMPC report (for children with disabilities, if available);
• an electronic copy of the document of the phthisiatrician (if the child is placed on the waiting list at the sanatorium kindergarten).

The parent must confirm their consent to use the voucher within 2 business days.

If the consent is not confirmed, the voucher is included in the stop list for 28 days with the possibility of restoration.
