The City of Windhoek (CoW) is urging parents to enrol their children from one year to five years at its Early Childhood Development and Pre-Primary centres.

The application forms will be available from 26 July at all the centres between 08h00-16h30.

The centres are located in Rocky Crest, while Jonas Haiduwa and Aam Been Dee centres are situated in the Okuryangava Residential area.

The City's Pulbic Relations Officer, Lydia Amutenya, couldn't emphasise more the importance of early childhood development as a foundation for the growth of any child.

The search for pre-primary placements in Windhoek is becoming more intense, as schools have only a limited number of spaces available for new enrollments.

Since the start of this month, parents have been camping overnight at schools to secure a spot for their children.

During this time of the year, the competition for school placements becomes intense, with parents lining up every morning at the schools.

Recently, concerned parents contacted the nbc regarding Van Rhyn Primary School.
