To enroll in The Open School’s Preschool program:

  1. Be at least three (3) years of age upon entry (and provide a birth certificate);
  2. Be toilet trained independently in all areas;
  3.    Satisfy a teacher evaluation of the child, if requested by the teacher; and
  4. Meet State of Wyoming requirements for immunizations.

 To enroll in The Open School’s Pre-Kindergarten (PreK) and Transitional-Kindergarten (TK) classes:

  1. Satisfy all requirements for the Preschool program (see above);
  2. Be at least 4 years old by September 15th of the current year for PreK; or 5 years old by December 31 of the current year for TK (and provide a birth certificate as proof of age);
  3. Be ready for more structure and gaining independence;
  4. Satisfy a teacher evaluation of the child, if requested by the teacher.

Classes:

The Open School has 3 classrooms, all led by qualified and loving teachers.  Preschool is for 3 year old children, often as their first setting away from home.  We have 2 PreK classes – PreKindergarten (PreK) is for 4-5 year old children and Transitional Kindergarten (TK) PreK2 is for children who turn 5 by December 31st of the current school year, those that miss the Kindergarten cut-off of August 1st, or those children who are 5 but would like to wait one more year before Kindergarten. Class placement will be made based on age, previous childcare/preschool experience, and by discretion of the classroom teacher and director.  The TK class has a 4 morning, Monday-Thursday, minimum package. This allows the students to not miss out on the curriculum and lessons throughout the week.  If your child qualifies for TK, but you do not want a 4 morning Mon-Thu minimum package, our PreK classroom will still be a high-quality option for your child.  Many children attend PreK and go into Kindergarten directly from that class successfully as well

Non Discrimination:

The Open School shall not discriminate in any manner because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, disability, sexual orientation, gender orientation, or age except as otherwise provided by law.
