How to choose a kindergarten

As some kindergartens can be oversubscribed, you are advised to visit as many kindergartens in your area as possible and decide which best suits your child's needs. 

Remember, there is a benefit in choosing a kindergarten close to you, as proximity is one of the weighted criteria.

You may choose a first and second preference kindergarten. However, remember nominated preferences do not guarantee a place.
