Why Register for Kindergarten Now?

Kindergarten is a child’s first school experience. You want it to be pleasant - not last minute and chaotic. Your child needs to be comfortable with the school and the teacher. By registering your child for kindergarten now, you can be sure that:

• All the necessary paperwork is in: You have time to secure needed records, so there is no rush or problem in getting the essential information.
• The school is prepared: Schools plan in the Spring and need to know how many teachers to hire and how many supplies they will need.
• You know about school policies, special programs, activities, and services, allowing you to be prepared and ask questions.
• You can schedule a tour of the school you are interested in while the school is still in session.
