All Districts — Families with children who turn 4 by Dec. 1 can learn more about tuition-free preschool options on Thursday or Friday during Kent ISD Great Start Readiness Program open houses.
The “PreK Here I Come!” events are from 4:15-5:45 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 26 and 9-11 a.m. Friday, Feb. 27, at locations across Kent County and in the Thornapple Kellogg school district area. Some locations are open both days.
All families qualify for tuition-free pre-K for their 4-year-olds as part of Michigan’s PreK for All initiative. Enrollment for next school year is open now and continues as long as spots in classrooms are available.
Families can enroll their 4-year-old children in full-day preschool classrooms throughout the area. There are many openings in Kent ISD public districts, and private and charter school districts, community-based organizations such as YMCA, and in child care centers such as Appletree and Milestones.
Most locations offer preschool Monday through Thursday, and select GSRP classrooms are offered Monday through Friday. Families are encouraged to learn more about openings and schedules by contacting GSRP at 616-447-2409 or visiting freepreschoolkent.org.
