How to enroll: 2026-2027 calendar and criteria
Romania’s Ministry of Education approved the following calendar for the 2026-2027 school year (orders OMEC no. 3706/2026 and 3707/2026, per ISJ Cluj):
- 18 – 22 May 2026 — Re-enrollment of children already attending
- 25 May – 18 June 2026 — First enrollment phase for new children
- 22 June – 9 July 2026 — Second enrollment phase
- 17 – 27 August 2026 — Adjustment phase
Important: enrollment does not work on a “first come, first served” basis — the order in which you submit your application is not a criterion. When the number of applications to a kindergarten exceeds available places, children are ranked by the general and specific criteria in the methodology. Proximity of residence may count as a specific criterion set by each institution, but it is not a guaranteed automatic priority for kindergartens — confirm the situation directly with your chosen kindergarten or with ISJ Cluj.
Documents needed
For the enrollment file you’ll generally need: the application form, the child’s birth certificate, the parents’ ID cards, proof of employment, and a sworn statement. The full list, with downloadable templates and special cases (divorced parents, parental leave), is in the Documents needed guide.
