Eligibility
Our program welcomes children between the ages of six weeks and five years old. Parents
should be aware that if their child turns five before September 30th, they are considered
eligible for kindergarten and must register with the elementary education school system.
For our after-school programs, it's important to note that participants must have
graduated from PK4 at EWLS. Please note that we do not provide transportation for
your child. If your child rides a bus to the laboratory school, an adult must accompany
them inside the building and sign them in. Furthermore, if you are planning a drop-in,
please note that you must also be a PK4 graduate of EWLS.
