For over twenty years, the School District of Lancaster has been committed to serving at risk preschool aged children and their families within Lancaster City, in high quality, standards based early learning classrooms.
The primary goal of our Pre-K program is to support the cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional and physical development of children and to prepare them for the transition to Kindergarten.
The School District of Lancaster’s Pre-K program is available to any child who is 4 years old on, or before, September 1.
We are pleased to offer classes at these locations:
Burrowes Elementary School
Carter and MacRae Elementary School
Fulton Elementary School
Hamilton Elementary School

Lafayette Elementary School
Martin School
Price Elementary School

Please note that spaces are limited, and enrollment is based on need, not on a first come, first served basis.

IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED - PA Budget May Leave Out Child Care and Cut Pre-K Again!
https://mailchi.mp/startstrongpa.org/immediate-action-needed-pa-budget-may-leave-out-child-care-and-cut-pre-k-again?fbclid=IwY2xjawLam0lleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFxMGFhSnhvTWwzbTZjQVQwAR6P_zHFHqPBn5lWRd1i1tHtnpcKxorP6iHewiZcLRvMlLZUZiO6-wKgHgV-Gg_aem_cMony80xhcMmrel0Fwnqag
Save the dates! For the 2025–26 school year, early dismissals will take place on the second Wednesday of each month, along with Tuesday, December 23, 2025, before winter break, and the tentative last student day, Friday, May 29, 2026.
We encourage families to plan ahead for these dates, making arrangements for transportation, after-school care, and any schedule adjustments that may be needed.
Reminder: attendance on early dismissal days is just as important as on full days! Please make sure your student is present, as absences on early dismissal days count as full-day absences.
