Two years ago my kindergarten daughter was enrolled from a traditional school and we planned to homeschool her with a provider along with my two older kids. Upon checking with her previous school she doesn't have an LRN yet which is required by my homeschool provider. What we did that time was to apply for it personally. We just asked DEP ED for the requirements needed to take the exam. We went to DEP ED near my place in Pasig to get the application form filled it up and submit the following requirements;
1. 2pcs 1x1 ID picture of your child
2. Birth Certificate
3. 200php fee
Right after that the schedule was already given. On the day of the exam there was a typhoon and we were hesitating to proceed because schools are already been suspended. Our schedule was around 9AM, We called DEP ED if the test would proceed. The staff told us that examination is still on going and we may come even after the scheduled time, So we went there around 1PM. My daughter took the kinder and grade one exam. It took her about an hour or two. After the exam they gave us a copy of the form and contact number to call for updates on the results. Results will be out after 2 weeks.
After two weeks the results finally came out. She passed the exam with higher scores. She is now eligible to enroll for 2nd grade since she passed the exam.
To parents who are hesitating if they should go independent or go with a provider its still your choice, but as for me going independent was the best decision I have ever made. My eldest was on 7th grade when we were enrolled with a provider but as per DEP ED rules and her age she should be in 8th grade now. We were misled by too much relying on school and providers for our children's education. Right now we are happy doing independent homeschooling.
