The 2025-26 school year has been our first year offering an Early Childhood Program located inside the Primary School building.

This program is designed to provide a nurturing and educational environment that will promote developmental, social, and academic growth. It focuses on equipping young learners with the skills and confidence needed for future educational success.

Through a blend of structured activities and play-based learning, children will engage in experiences that foster cognitive, emotional, and social development during these critical early years. Best of all, it is free for families residing within the Hillsboro R-3 School District!

The program offers two half-day sessions that run Monday through Thursday. Student attendance hours are 8:20 - 11:20 am for the morning session and 12:30 - 3:30 pm for the afternoon session. The program accepts children ages ages 3-5 who are not yet eligible to attend kindergarten. Students turning five before August 1st of the academic year are considered kindergarten eligible.

We are currently accepting applications for the 2026-27 school year. You can join our waitlist by completing the application here: Early Childhood Application
