Pre-Kindergarten
West Hartford Public Schools is excited to offer nationally accredited school-day pre-kindergarten programs for West Hartford residents at Webster Hill Elementary School!
- three classrooms
- must live in Webster Hill or prioritized neighborhoods (Wolcott, Smith, and Hillcrest) to apply
- mixed age pre-kindergarten classrooms with 3 and 4 year-olds.
- Students must be 3 or 4 respectively with birthdays on or before September 1 of the coming school year.
- We do not currently accept children that are age-eligible for Kindergarten.
The West Hartford Public Schools prekindergarten implements the Creative Curriculum for Preschool. This play-based approach is grounded in research and early childhood theory. Teachers plan for and assess young children's development using the companion assessment tool called Teaching Strategies GOLD.
The pre-kindergarten program currently does not accept applications for children that are kindergarten age eligible. Applications are available online and in elementary school offices between January and March the school year prior. Enrollment is based on a lottery system. Tuition is assessed on a sliding scale based on gross yearly income and family size.
