There is still space in Chesterfield County Public Schools for 4-year-olds eligible for prekindergarten for the 2016-17 school year.
Chesterfield County Public Schools offers a limited number of prekindergarten spots in 20 schools to provide school-readiness skills to eligible children with the greatest need. Children who will be four years old by Sept. 30 and who are zoned for a school that offers prekindergarten can apply. There are no exceptions to age and residency requirements. Acceptance is based on program requirements, which may include income restrictions.

Children must accompany their parents when applying because each child will be given a brief developmental screening. Parents must also bring this information on application day. Acceptance into prekindergarten is not first come, first served. Applying does not guarantee acceptance. If you have questions, call 804-279-7357.
