Parents who wish to register their children for Kindergarten 1 (K1) admission to Ministry of Education (MOE) pre-schools next year can do so between March 23 and 31, said the ministry on Wednesday (Feb 11). A total of 57 MOE kindergartens — including a new pre-school at Rivervale — will be participating in this year's MOE kindergarten registration exercise. The new kindergarten at Rivervale is among three new MOE kindergartens planned for opening between 2026 and 2027. Another MOE kindergarten — MOE Kindergarten @ Townsville — which was originally slated for opening in 2027 at Townsville Primary School's Ang Mo Kio campus, will not be going ahead as planned, after the announcement of the primary school's relocation to Sembawang in 2029.MOE had said in a press release in 2025 that East Canberra, where the school will be relocated, already has a «steady supply» of preschool places. Registration for the admission exercise is open to children of Singapore citizens and permanent residents born between Jan 2, 2022, and Jan 1, 2023, both dates inclusive.
