Frequently Asked Questions

Children of students keep their kindergarten spot with us until they start school, even if their parents finish their studies along the way. The same applies to children of employees at Samskipnaden or UiT – they do not lose their place if their parents change employers.

How do termination or changes in kindergarten placement work?

• Kindergartens in Tromsø have a two-month termination notice period.
• Kindergartens in Alta and Narvik have a one-month termination notice period.

Termination or changes in kindergarten placement must be registered through your municipality's application portal. Links to the application portals for each kindergarten can be found on this page, along with more information about termination rules in the regulations.

Families with a low income can apply for a reduced kindergarten fee through the municipality. Learn more about the scheme here:

Is there rolling admission throughout the year?

Yes, we offer rolling admission if there is available capacity. This means you can apply for a kindergarten spot at any time during the year, and we allocate places continuously as long as there are vacancies.

Can anyone apply for a place in a student kindergarten?

Yes, everyone can apply for a place in our kindergartens. However, the following groups are prioritised:
