Park City School District Opens Preschool Enrollment Tomorrow

Park City School District will begin accepting preschool enrollment requests at 7:00 a.m. on January 6, opening a three-week registration period that closes on January 23. Families must use the district’s Eleyo online system at pcschools.us to request placement for 3- and 4-year-olds; school assignments will be announced by February 2 so parents can arrange after-school care and transportation.

Preschool classrooms are available at each of the district’s four elementary schools with both full-day and half-day schedules. Full-day programming runs Monday through Thursday from 8:10 a.m. to 3:05 p.m. and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Half-day sessions operate Monday through Thursday from 8:10 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. and Friday from 8:10 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. These set hours are intended to align with elementary schedules while providing options for families with varying childcare needs.

Children eligible for enrollment must be 3 or 4 years old by September 1 and must reside within Park City School District boundaries. The district lists tuition at under $1,000 per month, and indicates state and local scholarship programs are available to offset costs for qualifying families. The preschool program is supported in part by a grant from the Park City Education Foundation and by funding from Vail Resorts EpicPromise.

For Summit County residents, the upcoming enrollment window has immediate practical implications. Parents and guardians seeking spots will need to be prepared to submit requests online promptly on January 6, and to review placement notices by February 2 to finalize arrangements for work schedules, after-school supervision, and transportation. The use of an online-only request platform underscores the importance of internet access for timely enrollment; the district notes administrative support contacts are available for families with questions about the process.

The program’s mix of public funding, local foundation support, and corporate contribution highlights how early childhood services in Park City are financed through multiple channels. That combination affects affordability and program stability, and will be a central factor for families assessing long-term access to preschool slots. Parents seeking details should visit the district website at pcschools.us and use the Eleyo portal beginning at 7:00 a.m. on January 6, or contact district administrative staff for enrollment assistance.
