Im a first time parent-to-be and am very clueless about how registering for childcare works even after reading alot.My edd is sept 2023 and am already planning to enrol my child to childcare when he turns 18 months, which will be early 2025.Usually how early do we register interest for our child and usually at which month will they have opening for the year after (eg 2025).Do we register at the website itself or thru ecda? #firsttimemom #pleasehelp

You may register your interest as early as 2024. Usually would be 1 year in advance to register your interest due to limited slots or full capacity. You may go ECDA website. The school will let you know if there are availability of slots or waitlist. You may also call the preferred choice of school to check from time to time.
