Preschool is available at all 12 DCPS elementary schools for children who will be 4 years old by Aug. 1 and whose families meet income guidelines; and children age 3 or 4 who are identified with a delay or disability.
Preschool is offered from 9 a.m. to 2:20 p.m. two days a week (either Monday/Tuesday or Wednesday/Thursday, based on the child’s pick-up and drop-off location). In addition to the DCPS preschool program, Head Start is offered at Tamarack Elementary School for children who will be 3 years old on or before Aug. 1 and who meet Head Start eligibility requirements.
Free screenings are available upon request to all DCPS families with preschool-age children to help determine if there are any educational concerns, learning delays, or disabilities.
A limited number of fee-based preschool slots are available within DCPS elementary schools for children who do not qualify for free preschool.
The DCPS district provides free transportation. Breakfast and/or lunch are also available. For more information, parents may call 270-852-7000, call their neighborhood elementary school, or click here.
