Kindergarten registration opens for the 2026-27 school year

Beginning Monday, November 17, Island parents and guardians can register their child for kindergarten at their local school.

Any child turning five years old by December 31 of the same year they are to begin kindergarten is eligible to be enrolled at their local English or French public school. For any parent or guardian unsure of their local school, they can contact either la Commission scolaire de langue française or the Public Schools Branch for their school zone information.

Kindergarten registration for the upcoming school year will be open during school hours beginning on November 17, 2025. Parents or guardians will be asked to provide provincially issued identification and proof of address during the registration process.

Families new to Prince Edward Island are encouraged to first visit the school EAL/FAL reception centre. Staff will guide them through a pre-assessment to ensure they have everything they need for registration.
