Kindergartens in these buildings have to allocate space for an indoor playground. In flats, condominiums, or service apartments, the kindergarten has to be on the ground floor (if the ground floor is a car park, then on the first floor). If the kindergarten is located in a commercial building, it has to be on the ground floor or first floor. not swampy, hilly or steep areas areas at risk of erosion, landslides or floods and areas close to high tension wires and industries. The Town and Country Department states that the location must be suitable and safe, i.e. Thought has to be given to the location and premises of your kindergarten. Also, instructions on what to do and what forms to use are not all available or easily searched on the portals of the various State Education Departments (Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri, in short, JPN) and District Education Offices (Pejabat Pendidikan Daerah, in short, PPD) - the two MoE agencies that process applications to register a private kindergarten. Reasons for not registering may include a reluctance to navigate the many layers in the application process. However, the reality is that many private kindergartens in the country have yet to register – with rough estimates purportedly running into the thousands. The Education Act clearly states that kindergartens cannot operate unless they are registered under the act, i.e., registered with the Ministry of Education (MoE).
