The Plymouth School District is now enrolling students who will begin 4-year-old kindergarten in the fall.
Children who will be 4 years old on or before Sept. 1 are eligible to enroll in 4K, which features enriching curriculum in a classroom setting four days a week. The nurturing environment is designed to foster independence, encourage creativity, provide for social growth, and promote new learning.
Each of these district-sponsored 4K programs is regulated by the State of Wisconsin and offers a licensed early childhood teacher, a research-based developmentally appropriate curriculum, and an emphasis on early literacy and math skills, with quality child care on site to reduce transitions.
This is a traditional half-day program at the three public elementary schools, with morning 4K from 8:45 a.m. to noon and afternoon 4K from 12:30 to 3:45 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
Onsite child care is offered by Berry Branch, operated by Plymouth School District Community Education & Recreation, which is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. opposite the half-day 4K schedule, as well as all day when 4K is not in session, including summer break.
