4 Year Old Kindergarten Program

Altoona School District 4K Registration for the 2024-2025 School Year Opens on February 6, 2024!

Our 4 year old Kindergarten program has a play-based focus, while preparing your child for Kindergarten and beyond. Our curriculum provides school readiness skills, social-emotional development, enriched academics, and school expectations. We strive to maintain small class sizes and focus on the individual needs of our students. We are the only 4K program that is a part of the school district, we work closely with the elementary staff to make this a seemless transition to kindergarten, and our program is provided at no cost!

Our 4K program is a half day program that runs Monday through Thursday, no student insruction on Friday, and follows the Altoona School District Calendar. It's a program designed for all children who live in the Altoona School District who will be four years old by September 1, 2024
