Wood County Schools' Pre-kindergarten program provides a nurturing and enriching environment that fosters early learning, social development, and school readiness, giving your child a strong foundation for future academic success. By engaging in hands-on activities and interactive learning experiences, your child will build essential skills that promote confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning.

Pre-kindergarten Enrollment begins February 3-7, 2025, for the 2025-2026 school year. Children must be 4 years old by June 30, 2025, to enroll. All Pre-K classes meet 4 days weekly, Monday - Thursday, for a minimum of 6 hours and 15 minutes daily. Since Pre-K is a universal program, students are placed on a first-come, first-serve basis and district lines do not apply. Applications are time stamped with the date and time of registration and students are placed into classrooms based on the timestamp.

The following information is needed to complete the registration:

  1. A Well-Child Exam from your healthcare provider, completed within one calendar year from the start of school, including vision, hearing, speech, language, and developmental information

  2. Proof of your child's dental exam in the last 12 months

  3. Your child's Social Security Card

  4. Your child's immunization record (proof of all vaccines) required for the student's age/grade

  5. Your child's state-certified birth certificate (see note below *)
