📌 KINDERGARTEN ELIGIBILITY GUIDE
(Para hindi na po malito 😊)
👉 Ang BASEHAN po ay AGE CUT-OFF, hindi po kung nag-Daycare o wala.
✅ PWEDE NA MAG-KINDER
✔️ Mag-5 years old ON or BEFORE October 31, 2026
➡️ Pwede na pong mag-Kindergarten
➡️ Kahit hindi po nag-Daycare
📍 Example:
Born August 2021 → mag-5 years old August 2026
✅ PASOK → Pwede mag-Kinder
⚠️ LATE BIRTHDAY (MAY FLEXIBILITY)
✔️ Mag-5 years old between November 1–December 31, 2026
➡️ Pwede pa rin pong ma-consider IF may isa sa mga ito:
✔️ Completed 1 year ECCD / Daycare, OR
✔️ Passed the ECD Checklist during enrollment
📍 Example:
Born December 2021 → mag-5 years old Dec 2026
⚠️ Pwede IF may ECCD or pasado sa ECD Checklist
❌ HINDI PA PWEDE MAG-KINDER
❌ Mag-5 years old AFTER December 31, 2026
➡️ Hindi pa po pwede mag-Kindergarten
➡️ Kahit completed ang Daycare / ECCD
📍 Example:
Born January 2022 → mag-5 years old Jan 2027
❌ NOT ELIGIBLE yet
📖 TANDAAN PO:
🔹 Age cut-off is the primary basis
🔹 Daycare is NOT required kung pasok na sa cut-off
🔹 ECCD helps ONLY for late birthdays (Nov–Dec)
🔹 This is the basis for Early Registration
⚠️ Important Note:
While this is the official DepEd guideline, final acceptance may still depend on the school, as may ilang schools na hindi nag-a-allow ng late birthday enrollees kahit may ECCD or ECD Checklist. It is still best to coordinate directly with the school for confirmation.
Salamat po. Sana po ay malinaw na 😊
