• Kindergarten Readiness Preschool

    Kindergarten Readiness Preschool is just like School Readiness Preschool, except that it is offered for free - based on income eligibility of families. Tuition and transportation are provided in order to eliminate barriers for families who may struggle to send their children to preschool. It is an intensive preschool program meeting 4-days-a-week.
     

    Instructional focus

    The Kindergarten Readiness Preschool program is designed to align with the Anoka-Hennepin School District elementary curriculum. Kindergarten Readiness Preschool students benefit from a rigorous and consistent class schedule meeting four-days-per-week, September through early June. Licensed teachers work with the students to practice and target the following learning areas:
    • Social-emotional development
    • Literacy
    • Math
    • Cognitive development
    • Language skills
    • Physical development

    Eligibility guidelines

    Children must be four-years-old by September 1 to enroll in the Kindergarten Readiness Preschool program. Applications are accepted in the spring of each year. Enrollment is limited and families are encouraged to apply early. If openings remain after the deadline, applications are accepted until all classes are full.
