Early Childhood Application

Required

In our district we are committed to providing the highest quality early learning experiences to the families in our community. We utilize federal and state grants to provide free and reduced-fee preschool opportunities to qualifying families. Families who do not qualify for a funded enrollment slot pay a monthly tuition to attend. 

We serve children through two programs — Olathe Early Childhood and Olathe Head Start. Both programs are inclusive of all students and receive financial supports through Head Start, At-Risk, Special Education, and fees.

All families who meet the following requirements are encouraged to apply:

  • Child is three years old by Aug. 31 and is NOT eligible for kindergarten (5 years old by Aug. 31). 
  • Family resides within the USD 233 boundaries OR Head Start service area (Olathe, Gardner-Edgerton, Spring Hill, DeSoto, Blue Valley districts)
