Get ready for an educational adventure as Northville Public Schools introduces a Young 5's Program, launching in Fall 2024! Geared towards ensuring kindergarten readiness for our little learners, this tuition-free program is designed to boost academic, social, language, and fine motor skills. It will be a five-day-a-week program that serves as a bridge between preschool and typical kindergarten. These classrooms will be for students born between July 1, 2019-December 1, 2019.

Enrollment for our new Young 5's Program will open January 2024. We have posted several helpful documents on our Young 5's website including Frequently Asked Questions, Early Learners Program Comparison, and Kindergarten Readiness.

Please complete our Interest Survey if you would like to receive additional information in the spring and instructions for enrollment.
