Sparta Township’s Preschool Program will be opening registration soon.

Students already enrolled in the preschool program are guaranteed a spot next year. Any child not enrolled will be entered into a lottery system because of the limited number of seats available.
Any child not selected in the lottery will remain on a waiting list for future openings.

Key dates:

● February 3, 2025: Preschool Registration opens
● March 3, 2025: Preschool registration ends.
● March 7, 2025: Families will be notified of the lottery results.
● March 14, 2025: Families must notify the district if they accept or decline a spot.
● March 28, 2025: ALL paperwork must be submitted to maintain placement. If paperwork is not submitted students will be moved to the waitlist
