The KCS Preschool application for the 2026-27 school year will be released on the afternoon of Friday, March 6, 2026 at 3:00PM on our KCS Preschool Page.
Please familiarize yourself with our four preschool options before beginning the application. More information about each program (Voluntary PreK, Title 1 PreK, Blended Preschool, and Transition Preschool) can be found on our KCS Preschool Page. Each program has different criteria students must qualify for to be eligible.
ALL applicants will be required to submit proof of residency (current KUB bill, mortgage statement, lease agreement, etc) before submitting a 2026-27 application. Families applying for Voluntary PreK will also be asked to complete an income verification information during the application process. Please gather these documents electronically before beginning the application.
Families will have the opportunity to choose up to 6 preschool options. Please be familiar with which program you are applying for before beginning the application process.
