After receiving a complete application, the nursery school will issue a receipt to the parent or guardian. If the application sent by mail or online does not meet the requirements, within 5 working days the nursery school will send a notification of non-acceptance and the reasons to the parent or guardian.

Within 10 working days from the deadline for receiving applications, the nursery school compiles a list of eligible nursery children with the application specified in Clause 3, Article 8 of Decree 105/2020/ND-CP and submits it to the district’s Department of Education and Training for review and summary. The legal representative of the private or semi-private nursery school is fully responsible for the list of children eligible for support.

Within 7 working days from receiving the nursery school’s application, the district Department of Education and Training organizes verification, summarizes the list of eligible nursery children, sends it to the financial department for submission to the District People’s Committee for approval according to the State Budget Law.

Within 7 working days from receiving the application from the Department of Education and Training, the District People’s Committee approves the list of eligible nursery children and notifies the nursery school.

After approval by the competent authority, the nursery school publicly announces the list of supported nursery children.

The nursery school is responsible for receiving the funds and directly paying the support by cash to the parents or guardians;

Support is paid twice in the school year: the first payment covers 4 months in November or December; the second covers the remaining months in March or April.

If the parents or guardians do not receive the support funds within the given period, they will be paid in the next payment cycle.

In case the child drops out, the nursery school must report it to the Department of Education and Training, and the department will submit it to the District People’s Committee to stop the payment policy.
