Welcome, PreK families!
The quality early education programs within CVSD provide early childhood experiences that foster social, emotional, physical, cognitive and language development through enriching experiences and positive relationships. Vermont’s Universal PreK law (Act 166) provides publicly funded PreK for children ages 3-5 years old. Children are entitled to quality preschool experiences for 10 hours per week for 35 weeks. Parents may choose to enroll in a prekindergarten program in one of our PreK-8 schools or in a pre-qualified community-based program using Act 166 funds.
Our CVSD school based PreK program offers 12 hours of prekindergarten in the following schools:
- Allen Brook School in Williston
- Hinesburg Community School
- Shelburne Community School
