PreKG admission in chennai schools

Four years back , I had posted about LKG admission in chennai schools . Now it is PreKG admission everywhere instead of LKG.

Most of the schools have started their own PreKG and we have chance to reserve our seats in their schools for LKG. Some of the schools do not call for LKG admission saying it is closed as it will be filled internally in the alumni and sibling quota.

We can not sit and relax once you get PreKG admission in schools. It does not guarantee LKG admission. LKG admission process has to be followed and your kid should be performing well in the PreKG. Yes. Your three year old should be able to tell her/his name , parents and sibling name, school name, tell some rhymes, identify basic colors, vegetables , fruits, alphabets etc and should be able to hold a crayon pencil and do coloring.

When it comes to school admission in some of the BIG reputed schools, people say that application form alone is not enough and we need to have additional form, i.e some VIP's recommendation letter, Or some source where you can approach the school and block your seat with big donation. If you do not have letter and don't prefer to go for second option, then you have to depend on luck, as some open seats are selected by lot from the huge set of applications.

You have lot of options open for the first kid, where as your choice will be just one for the second kid as most of parents want to put their kids in same school.
