โ NOT ELIGIBLE yet
๐ TANDAAN PO:
๐น Age cut-off is the primary basis
๐น Daycare is NOT required kung pasok na sa cut-off
๐น ECCD helps ONLY for late birthdays (NovโDec)
๐น This is the basis for Early Registration
โ ๏ธ Important Note:
While this is the official DepEd guideline, final acceptance may still depend on the school, as may ilang schools na hindi nag-a-allow ng late birthday enrollees kahit may ECCD or ECD Checklist. It is still best to coordinate directly with the school for confirmation.
Salamat po. Sana po ay malinaw na ๐
