KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Parents are invited to enroll their young children in free, high-quality pre-K in Kalamazoo County.
Children who turn 3 or 4 by Dec. 1, 2025, are eligible for enrollment, according to Kalamazoo RESA.
We’re told students who receive quality pre-K education develop early skills in math and literacy as they learn how to manage stress and be social around other children.
Kalamazoo RESA says nine county districts participate in pre-K programs.
Options include:
- Head Start, which is federally funded and provides education for select 3- and 4-year-old children.
- Great Start Readiness Program, which is funded by the state to educate 4-year-old students.
- Kalamazoo County Ready 4s, which offers private and public childhood education for kids aged 3 to 4.
Factors determining eligibility include age and income, among others.
