The Edgerton School District (ESD) offers 4K programming at participating community centers and at Community Elementary School.

4K Philosophy

The purpose of our Edgerton Four-Year-Old Kindergarten collaborative effort is to prepare all children socially, emotionally, academically, and physically for success in school and life in an atmosphere that is nurturing, play-based, and developmentally appropriate.

What is 4K?

Four-year-old kindergarten is commonly referred to as 4K.  It provides an enrichment opportunity for children prior to kindergarten.  It is a play-based program designed to nurture social, emotional and early academic skills of four-year-old children.
