Starting July 1, Astana begins group formation for preschool organizations for the 2026-2027 academic year. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.
This year, about 15,000 vacancies are available in public and private kindergartens for children aged 2 to 5. Parents are advised to prepare in advance for the start of seat allocation: download the ED24.kz mobile app and complete authorization.
"It is necessary to check access to the personal account in the 'INDIGO – electronic kindergarten' system, i.e., ensure that the login and password are current. It is important to verify that the application is active, not archived, not expired, and not in 'stop-list' status," the message says.
Also, parents must select several public and private preschool organizations in advance. According to the algorithm, vacancies are first allocated to children on the waiting list. Currently, waiting lists for public kindergartens have been fully formed.
"When a vacancy appears in a kindergarten, the system automatically sends a notification to the first person in line," said Marzhangul Kairbayeva, deputy head of the education department.
If no response is received within one calendar day, the application is removed from the waiting list, and the notification is sent to the next recipient.
