Universal Pre-Kindergarten Enrollment Information

The Cherry Creek School District will offer free, part-time Pre-kindergarten at our elementary schools in the Cherry Creek School District for the 2025-2026 school year. Pre-kindergarten will be offered part-time in a morning OR afternoon session. Morning session hours are 7:45 am-11:00 am with a staggered drop off between 7:45 am-8:00 am.  Afternoon session  hours are 11:45 am -3:00 pm with a staggered pick up between 2:45 pm -3:00 pm. Morning and afternoon assignments will be determined by the school's principal.  

CCSD registration is open to families with children currently enrolled, children with siblings currently enrolled, and/or children who have a parent/guardian currently employed by the district. 

Will your child be 4 years old on October 1st? Follow these steps:

Enrollment for Pre-Kindergarten is a three-step process!

Step 1: Create a family enrollment account in the ONLINE ENROLLMENT SYSTEM. You will need a valid email address to create your account.  (NOTE: This is a different account than your my.cherrycreekschools.org account).  BE SURE TO SELECT THE CORRECT SCHOOL YEAR FOR THE ENROLLMENT. If you are registering for a different school year than the current one, click on the DASHBOARD icon in the top right corner of the page.

Step 2: Once the Family Enrollment Account has been created, you will be able to enroll your student(s). You will need to upload electronic copies of the following documents to complete the enrollment process for each student:

• Birth certificate (translated if not in English) or one of the following alternatives:
  • Signed hospital certificate with official seal
  • Receipt from birth state that a replacement birth certificate was ordered
  • Valid passport
• Immunization record - Please upload the COMPLETE immunization record (all pages, front and back).
• Proof of address (view accepted document list)
• Government issued Photo ID for the parent(s) or legal guardian(s)
  
  Note: If you are unable to scan your documents, there are free apps online that will enable your smartphone to serve as a scanner. Or you could simply take a picture of the documents with your smartphone. Be sure that your student’s name is on all the documents and that all information is clear so that it can be easily read. For additional support, you may visit an Admissions office to have the documents uploaded.

Step 3: You will receive an email from PowerSchool Enrollment after your student has been enrolled in the district. The email will contain your student’s information and directions for any next steps. After you have received the confirmation email with your child's school assignment and student ID number, you will need to complete the UPK state application to complete your child's enrollment. 

1. Fill out the UPK Application accurately with your child’s full legal name and date of birth (as it appears on your child’s birth certificate).
2. CCSD only offers an 11-hour program. Even if you qualify for additional hours, CCSD does NOT offer additional hours.
3. If applying for additional hours based on income, upload proof of income. 
4. Select only the school your child is assigned to within CCSD.
5. Choose "Student is already attending" as your child has already accepted an offer from CCSD 

Enrichment Program Information

• Preschool Enrichment is an optional, fee-based childcare program providing a quality experience for the other half of the Pre-Kindergarten day! Space is limited.
