The Lebanon R-3 prekindergarten (PK) offers services to students who are 4 years of age prior to August 1st, in accordance with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) age eligibility guidelines. PK students are not age eligible for Kindergarten enrollment. Lebanon R-3 offers half day and full day PK options.
ALL Prekindergarten student placement is based upon the child’s academic, social emotional, and financial need criteria.
Preschool registration will be available online beginning in March. Preschool screenings will be held during April and May, with daytime and evening appointments available. Lebanon R-3 preschool screenings will be held at Jordan Valley Community Health Center. Jordan Valley is located directly across the Esther Elementary front parking lot. Parents will need to sign up for a preschool screening by using the link found on the Lebanon R3 District website. The link will provide further information to select an appointment time that allows a parent/guardian to attend. All children must attend a screening to be considered for placement in Early Childhood. The parent or guardian must bring the following documents to the screening: copy of the birth certificate, proof of residency in the Lebanon R3 District, and the child’s current immunization record.
