Here are some kindergartens found in the area:
St Theresa College Primary School Birkirkara
The Birkirkara primary school dates back to June 1842. The original school was one of the dwellings of Cavalier Censu Borg (Brared) but with the increasing demand for children to attend school, new premises had to be found. In 1926, the new school was built and still serves as a school today. It is built on two storeys and was nearly finished by 1930. However, during the second world war the school served as a hospital. Another storey was built later, and has been refurbished throughout the years to reflect further educational practices. At Birkirkara Primary school they commit to work together to ensure the highest level of teaching and give a holistic education to all their students irrespective of gender, creed and ability. The school hosts students from the age of 3 years up to 11 years.
