* Pre-K classes prepare your child for Kindergarten. Historically, most children enrolled in Pre-K go to Kindergarten after they graduate from the CDC and do very well in school. The Pre-K classes are designed for children who miss the September 30 cut-off for Kindergarten and/or have completed a Pre-K class already and want an additional year of preschool at parents’ request. Children who have not completed a Pre-K class need to be close to turning 5 years old by the first day of school to be considered for Pre-K placement. Older children will be given priority.
**Enrollment in Extended Day is for the entire school year.
