Hillcrest offers pre-kindergarten classes. The FCPS Pre-Kindergarten program is a state-funded program for four-year olds who meet the following eligibility requirements:
Child must be four years old on or before September 1st of the current school year
Child must reside in Frederick County
Children whose families qualify under the Free and Reduced-Price Meal income guidelines and children who are homeless or in foster care receive automatic placement into the Pre-Kindergarten program.
Inclusive Pre-k Classes:
Inclusive Pre-K Classrooms are available for 3 and 4-year old students who will attend ½ day sessions. Students must be 3 or 4 by September 1st. Applying for a student to participate as a peer in this program does not guarantee enrollment and students must reapply every year. Parents must provide transportation to and from school and may apply to any location, regardless of home school location. The application process is now open and students will be selected via a lottery process. All applications must be submitted to Lauren Perry for consideration for the peer lottery.
