Hi! The English site is only a beta for now and still has many errors (especially in names and locations).
We are working hard to fix them and making more content available than ever before so expect constant updates.
Preschool spaces are allocated based on the age of the children applying for a specific preschool. You can apply for priority admission for a child if special circumstances warrant it, such as if the child has turned 5 years old, has a disability, or is experiencing difficult home circumstances.
If a priority application is approved, the child goes to the top of the waiting list. In cases where there are multiple priority applications for the same preschool, admission is granted by age order. Children with priority start in preschool no sooner than at 12 months old.
To apply for preschool priority, log in to My Pages with your electronic ID, select Application for Preschool Priority, attach any necessary documents (e.g., certificate of inspection from a doctor), and submit. You can monitor the status of your application under My Cases on My Pages. Guardians will receive an email when a decision has been made on the application for preschool priority.
If you do not have an electronic ID, please contact the City's Service Center at 411 1111 or email innritun.leikskolar@reykjavik.is. You can also find instructional videos about electronic IDs, explaining how they work, where to get them, and how to log in with them.
