As per DepEd Order No.47, s.2016,

“Age qualification for Kindergarten learners in public schools should be five (5) years old by June 1 of every school year (DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2015). However, the school may consider learners entering Kindergarten who will turn five (5) years old by the end of August on the condition that the Philippine Early Childhood Development (ECD) Checklist must be administered to the learner to ensure that the learner iscapable of meetingthe expectations of the grade level.” 

If a parent/guardian still decides to enroll a child with age below the age required for a particular level, a waiver should be signed for clarity that the school does not have any obligation for the delay of that child in eventually entering Grade 1.
