Preschool Enrolment: How It Works

When Applications Are Reviewed

Applications open February 2, 2026.
All applications are processed in the order they are received, with placement happening in stages as classes fill.

Enrolment Timeline

February 2 – March 25
Priority is given to current Edmonton Christian Schools families applying for 4 year old preschool.

March 26 – June 15
Enrolment opens to all 4 year old children.

June 16 onward
Enrolment opens to all 3 and 4 year old children, first come, first served.

A child is considered 4 years old if they turn four by December 31, 2026.

When You’ll Hear From Us

  • Families who apply between February 2 and March 25 will be notified by April 17, or sooner if a class fills.
  • Applications submitted after March 25 are reviewed after April 17, in the order received.

If a Class Is Full

If your preferred class is full, your child will be placed on a waitlist.
Your application will remain on file for the rest of the preschool year, and we will contact you if a space becomes available.

Reapplying

Preschool applications do not carry over from year to year.
If you would like your child to attend a second year of preschool, a new application is required.
