    Kindergarten

    Will your child be 5 on October 1, 2023? If yes, then….

    Congratulations! Your child will be in Kindergarten for the 2023/24 School Year.

    Your child is not eligible for pre-kindergarten (Universal preschool).

    If your child is currently attending a CCSD preschool, then you are already registered for KG at your home school. Please wait for more information coming in the spring regarding kindergarten from your child's home school and check their web page frequently.  Please note, your child can attend their home school, which may or may not be the school where they are attending preschool.

    Pre-Kindergarten (Universal Preschool)

    Will your child be 4 on October 1, 2023? If yes, then….

    Congratulations! Your child can be in Pre-kindergarten for the 2023/24 School Year.

    Cherry Creek School District continues to plan for the implementation of Pre-Kindergarten (Universal Preschool or “UPK”) for all students who will be 4 years old on or before October 1, 2023. These young learners are valuable members of our school communities. In our prior communication, we planned to be live on the Colorado Preschool Application website by February 15. Currently, we are still working with the state to secure licenses for some of our locations. As soon as we have all licenses, CCSD will move expeditiously to get all our sites listed on the Colorado Preschool Application website for families to register. We are working with the state to have this situation resolved as soon as possible. In the meantime, families can complete their pre-registration information for CCSD by visiting the CCSD PRE-ENROLLMENT LINK.  We will post updates to our web page, so please check back frequently. 

    Pre-Kindergarten will be offered at almost every elementary school.  It will be half days, Monday-Thursday 8:00am-10:55am (AM session) or 11:50am-2:45pm. (PM Session). Transportation will not be provided for students.  For special education students, please contact Child Find.  (See information below in the Child Find Section)

    Enrichment for Pre-Kindergarten and Preschool:

It will be offered at almost every school.  Detailed instructions will come soon.  Please check back on our website for updates. 

    Child Find

    Who should contact Child Find?

    You should contact Child Find if you have a child whose birthday makes them eligible for preschool (3 years old on the day they will start school) and you have concerns or questions about their development.  This service is free for families. 

    For information or questions regarding Child Find, please call 720-554-4001.

    To get more information about appointments and the Child Find process, please call our Intake Specialist Diana Gassen. Her phone number is 720-554-4021.

    What happens at Child Find?

    Cherry Creek School District’s (CCSD) Child Find teams are recognized by the state of Colorado for their expert use of Play-Based assessment techniques. Your child will experience the assessment process as a play session.

    Child Find screens children’s skills and if there is a suspected delay that may impact the child’s ability to learn at preschool, Child Find evaluators will offer to do a formal Special Education evaluation. If the formal Special Education evaluation indicates that your child does need support in preschool, Child Find will write an Individualized Education Plan (IEP).

    To get more information about appointments and the Child Find process, please call our Intake Specialist Diana Gassen. Her phone number is 720-554-4021.
