Preschool queue in Salem

Apply for a preschool place through the municipality. The municipality must offer a place within 4 months from the application, but queue date, preferred start date and ranking rules can differ between municipalities.

Go to Salem's preschool e-service (opens in a new window)

Application checklist

  • Compare preschools in the table and open the units you want to inspect.
  • Have the child's personal identity number, guardian details and preferred start date ready.
  • Rank several alternatives if the municipal e-service allows it.
  • Follow the municipality's messages and respond on time when you receive an offer.

Skolkoll is not a queue system and does not show live queue position, real-time queue data or current waiting time. Always verify status, rules and fees in the municipality's own e-service.
