Preschools

We have 3 full day preschool sites that are open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. These sites are open all year, including spring, winter, and summer breaks (excluding holidays). 

Full day preschool locations include: Jefferson, Great Western, & McCord.

In order to qualify for a space at a full day preschool site, parents must be working full time or in school full time, or a combination of the two. Parents seeking work or permanent housing also meet state preschool requirements for a need for services. 

We have 7 part day preschool sites that offer a 3 hour program Monday through Friday. Classes are offered in the morning from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m., or in the afternoon from 12:00  to 3:00 p.m. or 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. (depending on the site).

Part day preschool locations include: Jefferson, Washington, Lincoln, Silas Bartsch, A.L. Conner, and Dunlap

The Early Learning Center VROP Preschool also offers two part day classes. VROP preschool is a program in which KCUSD high school students work in the preschool classroom as part of their early childhood development coursework. A fully qualified preschool teacher and teacher aide teach the preschool class, while a VROP child development instructor teaches the high school students the essentials for working in the field of child development.
