Pre-schools are available both in public and private types. They admit children between three and six years of age, until primary school. Public pre-schools in Portugal mostly free. Please contact your local kindergarten to get more information about admission conditions.

Pre-school children can also maintain classes in Ukrainian, through the ‘NUMO’ program of the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science, with ‘online’ resources for kindergarten.

You must contact school in your area of residency or governmental entity responsible for the education area (dgeste.mec.pt ).

Typically you will need the following documents for application:

• Identification documents;
• School certificate or any other document proving child's qualification degree;
• Vaccination certificate (all vaccines).

Please confirm with your local school the full list of the necessary documents.

Public schools in Portugal are state-subsidized, that means they are free for residents.
