According to the legislation, 15% of the total number of children in pre-school educational institutions are exempted from the payment of children from low-income families. First of all, preference is given to children of low-income families with one or both parents with disabilities of group I or II, as well as children of low-income families with the lowest average total monthly income.

The list of children of low-income families who are exempted from payment is determined and formed based on the information on the property status of the family issued by the neighborhood and the conclusion of the relevant kindergarten parents' committee.

The list of children of low-income families exempted from payment is approved by September 25 of each academic year. A reserve is formed at the expense of children of low-income families who are not included in the list, as well as those identified during the year. Vacant places as a result of suspension of kindergarten attendance of children exempted from payment will be filled from this reserve.

Also, kindergarten fees are not paid for children with the following diseases:

– Severe speech defects (rhinolalia, stuttering, children's aphasia, retardation in psycho-speech development).
- Severe hearing impairment (II-IV degree deafness).
– Severe visual impairments (blind, anophthalmos, amblyopia and low vision).
