pENINSULA SCHOOL DISTRICT Early Learning PROGRAMS
The Peninsula School District recognizes the importance of early learning in the success of our students. Research shows that students who meet learning standards by grade 3 are more likely to succeed as they continue in school and graduate prepared for college, career, and beyond.
Peninsula School District has a variety of early childhood programs to meet the needs of our youngest students. We offer a continuum of programming from part day and full day M-Th as well as full day Monday-Friday. Each program has specific enrollment requirements. In order to simplify that process for families, parents can submit an interest survey to help us connect you to the program that best fits your child and family's needs. All programs are free to Peninsula School District Residents.
