School Readiness Preschool Programs

The School Readiness Preschool Program is a state funded program. The program is provided at no cost to students who qualify. Children must be four years old on or before September 1st of the school calendar year to enroll. The parent must provide transportation to and from the program location for the student.

Comprehensive Program

• Based on all domains of child development and learning -– physical, social-emotional, cognitive, and language/literacy.
• Aligned with Utah’s Early Childhood Core Standards.
• Supported by research-based curriculum.
• Designed to meet the needs of all children through the medium of play.
• Taught by supportive and qualified staff.
• Includes parent involvement through activities, training, and support.

Eligibility for Enrollment in the Preschool

• 4-years-old by September 1 of school calendar year.
• Priority for enrollment in the program will be based on several factors, including (but not limited to) residency in the local school boundaries, qualifications for School Readiness funding (income level), and the risk factors from the application form. 
• Continuous enrollment will be based on attendance requirements of the program; attendance is critical to keeping your enrollment!

Dual language immersion is a 50/50 instructional model in which students spend half their day learning in English and the other half learning in Spanish or Chinese. Through developmentally appropriate curriculum, students naturally pick up the language as they learn other subjects. The program is based on the total language learning approach incorporating content-based instruction and explicit language instruction. Our goal is that our immersion students will become bi-literate and bilingual.

Within Weber School District there are four language immersion programs. A separate application is required for each program. If you would like more information about a specific program, you are welcome and encouraged to attend an informational meeting hosted by the school principal and a school district representative. Only students entering 1st grade during the 2021-2022 school year are eligible to apply. All applications are due March 26, 2021 by 11:59 pm.
