Welcome to the Early Childhood Program

Families applying for SDoL PreK can now complete the process in one place, thanks to a collaboration that helped earn the district its third national recognition through Edupoint’s Synergy Achievement Awards.

Our Enterprise Applications team within the Office of Technology worked with SDoL PreK and Enrollment staff to simplify a process that once required families to enter much of the same information twice. More than 400 applications have been processed through the new workflow, which lets staff review the same information and keep enrollment moving.

“IT created the tool, and our SDoL PreK and Enrollment teams helped turn that tool into a process that works for our families and staff,” said Marsha Riddick, manager of Child Accounting and Enrollment.

The latest award also recognizes work to preserve system knowledge by embedding guidance within Synergy. It follows a 2025 award for McCaskey's digital hall pass system, which saves more than $20,000 annually, and a 2021 honorable mention.

Congratulations to our Enterprise Applications team and the colleagues who helped bring these projects to life! Their work makes everyday tasks easier for families and staff across SDoL.
