Any child who turns 5 on or before August 1, 2024, can enroll in full-day kindergarten beginning in the 2024-25 school year. Children must enroll in kindergarten by the time they are 6, since under Kentucky state law, all children must be enrolled in school between the ages of 6 and 18.
Health Requirements
To enter kindergarten, children must have a physical exam, a dental exam, and an eye exam. They must also have completed their immunizations. Learn more about JCPS health requirements.
