4 Year Old Kindergarten
We are pleased to offer a top-quality, comprehensive 4K child development program to all 4-year-old children. Both our full-day and half-day programs are designed to nurture each child's social, emotional, and early literacy skills. The 4K program is offered at Central-Denison Elementary School and Star Center Elementary School.
You can enroll your 4K student in a full-day or half-day program at Lake Geneva Schools. The added time of the full-day program allows our young students to enjoy enrichment time while continuing to learn academically through a play-based curriculum. And don't worry! Students also have plenty of time for snacks, rest, and recess. The half-day option will take place in the morning only. Please note that bus services will NOT be available after the half-day 4K program.
At Lake Geneva Schools, we are excited to watch your child blossom and grow in our 4K program. The following are questions we commonly receive from parents. We hope this helps answer any questions you may have. As always, please contact us if we can assist in any way.
