Registrations for municipal nurseries usually open between January and February, but each municipality establishes its own calendar. To avoid surprises, always check the institutional website at the beginning of January: there you will find updated deadlines, open days and practical information for submitting the application. Many municipalities organize visiting days before registrations open: this is an opportunity to learn about the spaces and ask the staff questions. The timing may vary from territory to territory and even from year to year: the official portal is always the most reliable source.
Many private nurseries open for pre-registrations in the January-February period, similar to municipal nurseries. It is often possible to enroll even during the educational year that has already begun, depending on the availability of places and the internal policies of the individual structure.
