How to enroll: the enrollment stages
The official calendar for enrolling in preschool education is set each year by Romania’s Ministry of Education and published by the Cluj County School Inspectorate (ISJ Cluj). The process usually follows the same stages:
- Re-enrollment of children already attending (usually in spring)
- First enrollment phase for new children
- Second enrollment phase for any remaining places
- Adjustment phase toward the end of summer
The exact dates change from year to year, so always check the up-to-date calendar on the ISJ Cluj website before submitting your file.
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.
