Families needing assistance with these needs should seek the services of the School Liaison Officer at 912-573-8986.
Extended Day Care Program
The Extended Day Program is provided as an extension of the school day for children enrolled in our elementary schools and is only available on regular school days. The overall program serves an average of 400 students per day at nine locations. The program is recreational in nature, offering many wholesome, supervised indoor and outdoor, age-appropriate activities at each school.
Georgia Pre-Kindergarten Program
The Georgia Pre-kindergarten Program was established in 1993 to provide its four-year-old children with high-quality preschool experiences.
This unique program, funded by the Georgia Lottery for Education, is expected to serve over 82,000 children this school year. With this statewide pre-kindergarten program, Georgia reaches a higher proportion of four-year-old children than any other state in the nation.
The goal of every Georgia Pre-kindergarten classroom is to provide our four year olds with the learning experiences they need in order to prepare for kindergarten.
Children four years of age on September 1 of the current school year, whose parents are Georgia residents, are eligible to attend the Georgia Pre-kindergarten Program during this school year. The Program is voluntary for both families and communities on a space-limited basis that is determined by a lottery system. Students are required to register for the lottery at the elementary school for which they are districted.
Georgia Law does make an exception to the September 1 deadline. It is: "A child who was a legal resident of one or more states for a period of two years immediately prior to moving to this state and who was legally enrolled in a public kindergarten or first grade, or a kindergarten or first grade accredited by a state or regional association, shall be eligible for enrolling in the appropriate education program authorized in this part if such child will attain the age of five in kindergarten or six for the first grade by December 31 and is otherwise qualified."
All children enrolled for 20 school days or more in the public schools of this state prior to their seventh birthday shall become subject to the compulsory attendance law.
Pre-Kindergarten classes are also available through local private day care centers.
