Early Learning
Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K)
The Pre-K program serves students ages 3-4 and promotes independent learning and exploration to provide students the tools needed to enter Kindergarten ready to learn and to help your child grow as a lifelong learner. Educational opportunities are presented using the Emerging Language and Literacy Curriculum (ELLC) which is aligned to the Missouri Early Learning Goals. In order to ensure only high-quality educational programming is used in Pre-K classrooms, all curriculum is approved by DESE for use with Pre-K aged children.
How to Apply
Applications for the neighborhood and signature Pre-K programs are accepted through the SmartSchools online portal www.enrollKC.org. We begin accepting applications in December for the following school year. Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance in the Pre-K program.
