PreK serves students who turn 4 years old on or before Aug. 31 who will be kindergarteners the following year. The program runs four days a week, Tuesday through Friday, from 8:15 a.m. to 3 p.m. We have one PreK classroom in each of our elementary schools with the goal of enrolling 4-year-olds who turn 4 on or before August 31 into the program at their neighborhood school.

If older siblings are already choiced into another elementary school and space is available, it is possible for a 4-year-old to be placed in PreK at the same school as their older siblings. Families must reside in the SPS boundaries to choice into PreK. For information and enrollment, please contact SPS Early Learning at 509-354-5640 or EarlyLearning@spokaneschools.org.
