Mandatory Kindergarten



Image of teacher showing a student how to learn the alphabetEffective since July 1, 1992, mandatory enrollment and regular attendance  are required of all children who will be five by December 31. The state law  allows for two possible exemptions: a one-year “level of maturity” waiver if the  parent believes that a delay in school attendance is in the best interest of the  child and an exemption for five year olds enrolled in a full-time licensed child  care center, full-time registered day-care home, or part-time or full-time Head  Start program.

  Parents should contact the principal of the appropriate zoned elementary  school if they are interested in applying for a waiver.

BCPSS would like to provide full-day kindergarten and prekindergarten classes. As facilities and funding sources are available, more schools will offer these full-day programs.
