Hi..
We will be shifting to Munich by March. My 4year old daughter is in ukg now.
Can anyone help me with the school details, fees and when the admission process starts also what are the things we should consider while selecting the school.

There are no schools for 4-year-olds.
You are either planning two years ahead, or you mean kindergartens?
In any case, the local ones (of course entirely in German language) are much cheaper (in case of schools; free), often offer the better quality of teaching and enable a quick and seamless integration of your kid into its new environment - something that I believe no parents would want to deny their child.

Kindergarten is not considered 鈥渟chool鈥� in Germany and there are no classes, only educational play and fun (which Germans are good at).
Foreign kids with no or little language skills can and do enter without preparations to no apparent ill effect - and they will be fluent in German after just 3 - 6 months (without any classes, just by being around German-speakers). It is amazing what a young mind is capable of!
