STATE-FUNDED AND TUITION-BASED GENERAL EDUCATION PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS

Parents or guardians of children who are zoned for a Lexington School District One elementary school and are four years old on or before September 1, 2022 may apply to a general education 4-K program. If accepted into a state-funded preschool program, students do not always attend the same school for which they are zoned. However, we try to place students as close to their attendance area as possible. For example, you may be zoned for Meadow Glen Elementary, but your child may attend a state-funded preschool program at Oak Grove Elementary for 4-K only.

All programs are full day.

All 4K programs currently have a waiting list for 2022-2023. We will continue to accept applications to be placed on the waiting list.  You will be contacted using the email address you provide if a space becomes available.

The district also offers special education programs for preschool-aged children with certain academic, developmental, speech, and/or physical needs.

If you have concerns about your child's attention, speech, language, thinking skills, play skills, and/or behavior, you can call 803-821-1101 to make an appointment for a developmental screening. A developmental screening is a brief, family-friendly process that helps parents get answers to questions and concerns about their child's overall development and helps them access resources, services, and strategies that are available to support their child.
