Entrance RequirementS for Preschool Classes
Christ Our King Preschool in Bel Air, MD has classes for 2, 3, 4, and 5 year-olds. To enter the 2 year old program, your child must be 2 years old* by September 1 of their entry year. To enter the 3 year old program, your child must be 3 years old* by September 1 of their entry year. To enter the 4 year old program, your child must be 4 years old* by September 1 of their entry year. Entrance to the 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 complete a 4 year old class; however, it is not a requirement. All children must be toilet-trained.**
