Starting in December each year, kindergartens will invite children to attend the school for a Play Visit. The children must be accompanied by their parents. The purpose is for the kindergarten to observe the children, talk with the parents and determine whether the setting is appropriate for the children. It also enables parents to hear about the curriculum, view the premises, and decide whether they wish to proceed with the application. Children may be invited back to the kindergarten for a second visit if the school needs further information on the child. The kindergarten may involve the special educational needs advisor in this visit. Kindergartens will offer places to successful applicants after the visits have taken place. In some cases, offers of a place may be conditional upon a second or subsequent visit to the kindergarten, occasionally, parents may be requested to make additional arrangements to support their child when in kindergarten.
