The Preschool Three Program shall be open to all children who reach age three on or before the first day of September of the school year of intended enrollment.



Children who reach age four or older on or before the first day of September of the school year of intended enrollment do not qualify for the Preschool Three Program. All residency and registration requirements must be met prior to enrollment.

There is an expectation that children who reach age three will be toilet-trained prior to entry into school. For children who have not completed their toilet-training at the time of the Preschool Three Program registration, a planned approach will be developed collaboratively with the child’s family which will support successful completion of toilet-training prior to entry into the Preschool Three Program. No child not yet toilet-trained at the time of the Preschool Three Program registration shall be discriminated against due to their toilet-training status.

Annually, if seats are available in the Preschool Three Program, the District shall enroll all applicants who reach age three on or before the first day of September of the school year of intended enrollment who have met all residency and registration requirements by the first day of February of the prior school year. Applicants who reach age four on or before the first day of
September of the school year of intended enrollment shall not be considered for the Preschool Three Program.

Annually, if more qualified applicants exist than the number of seats available in the Preschool Three Program, a Preschool Three Program public lottery will be held no later than the fifteenth day of February of the prior school year to determine which applicants shall be enrolled in the Preschool Three Program for the subsequent school year. Applicants not selected for enrollment through the Preschool Three Program public lottery shall be placed on the Preschool Three Program Waitlist for the school year of intended enrollment in the order drawn during the Preschool Three Program public lottery. The Preschool Three Program Waitlist shall apply to only the named school year.
