CCPS to host screenings for preschool enrollment

As the end of the school year approaches, the Christian County Public School System is set to host screenings for children enrolling in preschool for the 2025-2026 academic year.

CCPS School Readiness Coordinator Kaitlynne Bolinger recently appeared on WHOP to share how parents can get their kiddos screened and enrolled. Children that are 3 or 4 years olds are eligible for preschool and she says the screening will assess a child’s development to see if they are ready for preschool.

The screening will include color recognition and language skills. Bolinger says preschool can play a vital role in early childhood learning because in the first five years of a child’s life up to 90% of their brain develops. 

Screenings will be hosted on March 28, April 25 and May 16 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Early Learning Center and at other CCPS schools with a preschool department. Parents can fill out a preschool application at christian.kyschools.us.
