All-Day Kindergarten (ADK) Program

In addition to the traditional half-day Kindergarten, District 200 offers a tuition-based All-Day Kindergarten (ADK) program. Parents interested in this program will receive information at the Kindergarten Round-up. Due to space limitations, the All-Day Kindergarten (ADK) program is a first-come, first-served program. Parent requests for All-Day Kindergarten must be submitted via the Online Interest Form which will become accessible on March 23, 2022, starting at 8:00 a.m. *Please ensure you have delivered all required registration materials to your school's office prior to mid-March.  Contact your school's office if you have any questions regarding this process.  If you are planning to register for ½ day kindergarten, you do not need to do anything at this time.  

After the initial deposit is paid in June, tuition is due on the first day of each month from August through April.  If fees are not paid within a timely matter, the child will be switched to the 1/2 day program.
