How old does my child need to be?

Children must be at least 3 years of age and not yet in Kindergarten on or before they start at New Creation Preschool. According to an October 2022 exception from the State of Kansas, children can attend preschool as long as they have not attained the age of seven (7) years of age on or before September 1 of the school year.
