To Enroll in Pre-K
A child must be three (3) years old on or before September 30th to be eligible for Pre-Kindergarten 3, and four (4) years old on or before September 30th to be eligible for Pre-Kindergarten 4. Every child in the 3 year old class must be fully potty-trained and out of diapers and pull-ups. Your child must be able to communicate with an adult that he or she has to go to the restroom.
● An occasional “accident” is understandable; however, if your child repeatedly has accidents, you will be called to come to school to change him/her.
● If within the first three weeks of school your child does not seem to be potty trained, we will ask that you remove your child from the program.
Registration in Pre-K 3 does not guarantee admission into Pre-K 4. Registration in Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4 does not guarantee admission into Kindergarten.
