Prekindergarten

Entrance into a prekindergarten program is determined by age, income and school eligibility.

Step 1: Eligibility

Families may apply for prekindergarten for the 2020-2021 school year if your child is four years old by September 1, 2020 and meets any of the following criteria:

meets the income eligibility guidelines
registered with the McKinney Vento Program (homeless)
demonstrates developmental delays or is at risk for developmental delays as identified by an IEP placement

*Over-income families will be placed on a waitlist and considered for a seat after Tuesday, September 8, 2020 based on space availability.

Step 2: Determine which sites are available according to household income (both parents, if applicable) and school eligibility (space and location).
