Pinckney Community Education

Registration for the '25-26 School Year Is Open

*Please note: The Half Day Fours class is full. Please email khultgren@pinckneypirates.org with questions.

Our highly-qualified teachers use the Orton-Gillingham methodology and all five pillars of literacy plus language comprehension to drive measurable gains for all students. Our programs are located within our elementary schools, Country and Farley Hill, to give our youngest learners exposure to the elementary school setting. In addition, preschool teachers work closely with our K-2 teachers in order to help all students be ready for the next step in their learning, Kindergarten!

Age Requirements & Eligibility:

1. Child must be 3 by Dec. 1, 2025 for the full and half day 3's programs
2. Child must be 4 by Dec. 1, 2025 for the full and half day 4's programs
3. All children in the preschool program must be completely toilet trained and be able to independently use the restrooms (No diapers or pull-ups are allowed unless medically necessary)

In addition to the online forms, the child's birth certificate, a doctor-signed health appraisal, and a current immunization record must be turned into the Community Education Office when registering. These can be submitted in person or by emailing khultgren@pinckneypirates.org. Failure to submit these forms may cause you to lose your spot within the program.

GSRP: All Four Year Old families must apply for GSRP through the LESA application AND enroll in Little Pirates Preschool (completing one does not transfer to the other). 

Latchkey is available before and after school for an additional fee.

We understand that occasional absences are unavoidable. Our preschool operates as a school setting—not a daycare—with a focus on structured routines and classroom expectations. Regular attendance, as outlined in the schedule above, helps support both your child’s learning and a consistent, focused environment for all students. We kindly ask that families follow the full schedule, as partial attendance can be disruptive to the class as a whole.
