Tuition based preschool programs for District 202 will be located at the Bonnie McBeth Learning Center, Freedom Elementary, Eichelberger Elementary, and Ridge Elementary for the 2016-2017 school year.

Enrollment for the general education preschool program at Bonnie McBeth is open to all District 202 children ages 3-5. This program is in an inclusive setting. Students must be three years old on or before September 1, 2016 to enroll for the 2016-2017 school year.

The lottery will be held on Feb. 12. Parents will receive a confirmation email no later than February 15, 2016 notifying them if their child has been accepted for the lottery or if their child was placed on a waiting list.
