The allocation of preschool places for the autumn takes place in March. Applications must be submitted before March 1 to ensure that they are considered during the allocation process. An application is being submitted for the child’s preschool stay at Vala.
New applications will be closed while the allocation process is underway, and after March 1 it will not be possible to make changes to applications that have already been submitted.
