4-year-old and 5-year-old Kindergarten

All 4K and 5K students attend Washington Caldwell.  At times, a 4-year-old already enrolled in early childhood may stay in EC, but typically they attend WashCald.  4K is a half-day morning program (8:30 am to 11:30 am).  5K is a full day program (8:30 am to 3:40pm).  Both programs are open to ALL district residents as well as open enrollment students when space allows.
