Moving with children to Poland: schools, nurseries, and kindergartens explained<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kr\u00f3tko dla tych, kt\u00f3rzy si\u0119 spiesz\u0105: wnioski do przedszkoli sk\u0142ada si\u0119 wiosn\u0105, zazwyczaj w marcu-kwietniu, na nast\u0119pny rok szkolny. Dla \u017c\u0142obk\u00f3w jest osobna kolejka, a miejsc jest niewiele. Szko\u0142y s\u0105 przydzielane na podstawie adresu zameldowania; je\u015bli nie ma miejsc, dziecko zostanie skierowane do najbli\u017cszej. Dzieci bez znajomo\u015bci polskiego otrzymuj\u0105 wst\u0119pne szkolenie j\u0119zykowe i zaj\u0119cia przygotowawcze. Bez PESEL trudno zapisa\u0107 si\u0119 do wi\u0119kszo\u015bci plac\u00f3wek<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u017b\u0142obki: plac\u00f3wki dla dzieci do 3 lat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Public nurseries in Gda\u0144sk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Age: usually from 20 weeks to 3 years, specific limits depend on the institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harmonogram: ca\u0142y dzie\u0144 od 8:00 do 16:00 lub w niepe\u0142nym wymiarze godzin, z dodatkow\u0105 op\u0142at\u0105 za wyd\u0142u\u017cone godziny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost: in 2026, the parental fee in public nurseries is limited by law (the current limit should be checked on the gmina's website), while prices in private nurseries start from 1500\u20132500 zlotys per month<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications are submitted through the Gda\u0144sk gmina portal or in person at the chosen institution<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kindergarten for children aged 3\u20136<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kindergarten prepares the child for school: it provides Polish language skills, socialization skills, and basic preparation. Most children attend public kindergartens (free, with only meals being paid) or private ones (with state subsidies)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What needs to be done:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upewnij si\u0119, \u017ce dziecko ma PESEL i \u017ce jeste\u015b zameldowany pod adresem w Gda\u0144sku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spring, keep an eye on announcements on the website gdansk.pl<\/a>: this is where applications for kindergartens open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wybierz kilka przedszkoli wed\u0142ug priorytetu: blisko\u015b\u0107 do domu, j\u0119zyk, profil plac\u00f3wki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Z\u0142\u00f3\u017c wniosek online i poczekaj na list\u0119 przyj\u0119tych dzieci; wyniki s\u0105 zazwyczaj publikowane w maju-czerwcu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je\u015bli dziecko nie dostanie si\u0119 do przedszkola, gmina zaproponuje alternatywne rozwi\u0105zanie lub umie\u015bci je na li\u015bcie oczekuj\u0105cych.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cudzoziemskim dzieciom cz\u0119sto zaleca si\u0119 sp\u0119dzenie roku w klasie przygotowawczej w szkole lub przedszkolu z rozszerzonym wsparciem j\u0119zyka polskiego. Sprawd\u017a opcje w wydziale edukacji wybranej szko\u0142y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary school<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

School enrollment based on residence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klasy 1\u20133: poziom podstawowy, wi\u0119kszo\u015b\u0107 przedmiot\u00f3w jest nauczana przez jednego nauczyciela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klasy 4\u20138: przedmioty s\u0105 nauczane przez r\u00f3\u017cnych nauczycieli, a oceny zaczynaj\u0105 wp\u0142ywa\u0107 na wyb\u00f3r szko\u0142y \u015bredniej<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilingual education: there are schools in Gda\u0144sk with enhanced English or German, but places are limited and there is a competition<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparatory class: for children aged 7 who have a limited knowledge of Polish, a year of adaptation before enrolling in a regular class<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dokumenty required for enrollment: birth certificate (with translation if necessary), child's PESEL, proof of residence registration, vaccination card (if behind the Polish vaccination schedule, it can be caught up with a pediatrician).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctor, health insurance, and vaccinations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The child will need a pediatrician. If the family has NFZ insurance, they need to choose a clinic and make an appointment. Without insurance, private consultations are available or insurance can be arranged through the employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Szko\u0142a i przedszkole b\u0119d\u0105 wymaga\u0107 za\u015bwiadczenia od lekarza dotycz\u0105cego szczepie\u0144 i og\u00f3lnego badania dziecka<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the child does not speak Polish<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gda\u0144sk welcomes many foreign children, and schools offer various forms of support<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Korepetycje i dodatkowe zaj\u0119cia z j\u0119zyka polskiego.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pomoc psychologiczno-pedagogiczna: wsparcie psychologa szkolnego i logopedy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Non-governmental organizations: free clubs and tutors for children with migration experience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Nie wahaj si\u0119 napisa\u0107 listu do dyrektora szko\u0142y po polsku (mo\u017cesz skorzysta\u0107 z t\u0142umacza), opisz sytuacj\u0119 dziecka i zapytaj o dost\u0119pne wsparcie j\u0119zykowe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Summer camps and activities during holidays<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    From the end of June to the end of August, the gmina and private centers organize day camps with meals and excursions. Registration opens in May, and places fill up quickly. Costs start from 400 zlotys per week in public camps and from 800 zlotys in private ones, with English language or swimming. Announcements can be found on gdansk.pl and in local parent groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Zaj\u0119cia pozalekcyjne, sportowe, muzyczne, taneczne rejestruje si\u0119 we wrze\u015bniu przez szko\u0142\u0119 lub lokalny o\u015brodek sportu i rekreacji. W przypadku dzieci ze specjalnymi potrzebami zaleca si\u0119 kontakt z poradni\u0105 psychologiczno-pedagogiczn\u0105 w miejscu zamieszkania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Residence registration and address for school<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    A residence registration is required to enroll in kindergarten and school, either permanent or temporary, at an address in Gda\u0144sk. Temporary registration is arranged through the apartment owner at the district administration; without it, the child may not be accepted into kindergarten based on territorial principles. If the housing is rented, it is advisable to include a clause about consent for registration in the rental agreement (more details in the guide on renting housing in Gda\u0144sk).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Obcokrajowcy maj\u0105 prawo do bezp\u0142atnej edukacji na takich samych warunkach jak obywatele Polski, je\u015bli ich rodzice przebywaj\u0105 legalnie w kraju. Dokument edukacyjny z kraju pochodzenia powinien by\u0107 przet\u0142umaczony przez t\u0142umacza przysi\u0119g\u0142ego: t\u0142umaczenie b\u0119dzie przydatne przy przenoszeniu do innej szko\u0142y lub przy powrocie do domu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Common mistakes made by parents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Sp\u00f3\u017aniaj\u0105 si\u0119 z wnioskami do przedszkola: miejsca zajmowane s\u0105 w ci\u0105gu jednego dnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nie za\u0142atwiaj\u0105 PESEL dla dziecka przed z\u0142o\u017ceniem dokument\u00f3w.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Wybieraj\u0105 mieszkanie bez uwzgl\u0119dnienia rozmieszczenia szk\u00f3\u0142, co skutkuje tym, \u017ce dziecko jest kierowane daleko od domu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nie uwzgl\u0119dniaj\u0105 op\u0142aty za posi\u0142ki w przedszkolu: to dodatkowe 80\u2013150 z\u0142otych miesi\u0119cznie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ten materia\u0142 ma charakter informacyjny.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Moving with children to Poland requires not only choosing a school nearby but also understanding the entire system: nurseries for toddlers up to 3 years old, kindergartens for children aged 3-6, and primary schools starting at 7 years old.
