Preschool Registration
The Loveland City Schools Preschool program was developed to serve children 3-5 years of age with a wide variety of disabilities qualifying for special education services in response to a federal mandate. Our program model includes children with typical development to provide a more inclusive and enriching learning environment and experience.
Those interested in entering their typically developing 3-5-year-old child in the Loveland City Schools Preschool program should follow this link to complete the Preschool Registration for Typically Developing Students. Families will be notified by mail, email, and/or telephone regarding admission to the program. The application window is December 3, 2024 through January 13, 2025. Families that apply after this date will be placed on a waitlist.
The online application is for those seeking enrollment as a tuition-paying preschooler only. Families with children ages 3-5 suspected of having a disability should contact the Loveland City School District registrar at 513-683-5600 to request a preschool evaluation and obtain a referral packet.
Note to parents:
What do we mean by a “typically developing” preschooler? This is a common question and an important one for our program. Our preschool is different from most in that it is primarily designed to serve the special needs of children ages 3-5 that have been determined to have an educational disability. Typically developing students play an important role in our program. Since children learn considerably from each other, our tuition-paying students serve as role models in the areas of communication, behavior, play, motor skills, and self-care skills. Thank you for providing as much accurate information as possible on the application.
We value a balance of age and gender in each classroom. When assigning children to classrooms, both age and gender are considered. Classes are not necessarily filled on a first come-first served basis.
