Entrance Requirements for Preschool Classes
Christ Our King Preschool in Bel Air, MD has classes for 2, 3, 4, and 5 year-olds. All student should have reached the appropriate age by September 1 of their entry year. Admission to Transitional Kindergarten class is offered to students whose 5th birthday is after September 1 of their entry year or have obtained a Maturity Waiver from Harford County Public Schools to delay beginning Kindergarten. We prefer that TK students have complete a 4 year old class. Children must be toilet-trained when entering the 3s, 4s, and TK programs. Toilet-training is not required for 2-year-olds; however, we prefer that training be underway, so we can support your efforts whi;e your child is at school.
