Tirana’s e-Fëmijët platform provides an online route for families to apply for places in the city’s public nurseries and kindergartens. The municipal page introducing the service links directly to the application portal, while the General Directorate of Nurseries and Kindergartens publishes registration notices and guidance for parents. 18
The platform’s scope expanded in 2025: that year, Tirana made online applications available for the first time for nursery and kindergarten registration, transfers between institutions, and transitions from nursery to kindergarten. 56 Parents were asked to submit personal information and choose the relevant application type; families applying under vulnerable or special categories had to provide supporting documents, with those children given priority. 6 The municipality also provided instructional videos to help applicants use the system. 36
The change moved a process previously handled through in-person applications toward a digital service, with a three-week application window in 2025. 56 By 11 June, local broadcaster Top Channel reported 5,900 applications had been submitted through the platform, including registrations and transfer requests. 10 The available sources do not identify the platform’s technical developer or a named individual responsible for its creation. The municipal page dates to 2021, but the sources establish online registration as a new approach in 2025, rather than confirming when the platform itself was founded. 16
