Community Connections Pre-Kindergarten is a licensed program that is open at each of the five local schools to help meet the needs of district families during the work week so that your child(ren) ages 3-5 years old may attend the school Pre-K or have childcare that works for your family’s weekly schedule.

Community Connections has run programming for twenty- two (22) years and Pre-Kindergarten thirteen (13) of those years. Our staff is highly trained and we collaborate closely with the school staff to make Pre-K and all transitions a good experience for your child(ren).

We operate every day that the school-based Pre-K programs are open. Each school has a slightly different schedule constructed around the hours the school-based programs operate, as well as established around the availability of space and staff. Most schools have a full day/full week option of childcare for families.

Please visit the Washington Central website (www.wcsu32.org ) for online Pre-Kindergarten Registration. I will be working with the district and schools to post the details for this fall through a link to Community Connections (CC) or to each school’s website for CC. That link will provide information that gives a complete schedule and cost for the services we provide,  Examples of current costs and programming can be found in the links below or contact Kim.The current year postings happen in July each year. 

For the upcoming school year, returning students are given placement first. New students are enrolled at the time of the Meet and Greet. Placement priority is given to incoming 4-year olds and then 3-year olds. Final placement confirmations are done in August. 

Stay safe and be well. We look forward to seeing you and your child in the fall.

Sincerely,
