We are excited to announce that enrollment for the 2025-26 Early Childhood Program will open on November 12, 2024. Designed for children ages three to five, this program will be housed at Hillsboro Primary School, located at 101 Leon Hall Parkway. It provides a nurturing and educational environment that promotes developmental, social, and academic growth. Best of all, it is free for families residing within the Hillsboro R-3 School District.

Our Early Childhood Program focuses on equipping young learners with the skills and confidence needed for future educational success. Through a blend of structured activities and play-based learning, children will engage in experiences that foster cognitive, emotional, and social development during these critical early years.


Enrollment is available for families residing within the district, with limited spots open. Parents interested in enrolling their child are encouraged to click the links for FAQs and Early Childhood Enrollment Letter to Families or contact Matt Whitehead, Executive Director of Special Services at (636) 789-0066 or whitehead_matt@hsdr3.org for information about eligibility, program details and enrollment procedures.
