What is Early Entrance to 幼儿园?
Early Entrance to 幼儿园 (EEK) is a rigorous screening process to find out if a student is ready to start kindergarten early.
华盛顿 state and Seattle Public School require that students entering kindergarten in the fall turn five before midnight of August 31 of the enrollment year. This process is for children whose fifth birthday falls between September 1 and October 31, 2024.
We highly recommend enrolling in a preschool or daycare program for school year 2024-25 until you receive your final 资格 notification.

SPS carefully considers each student’s success throughout their K-12 experience. Students who begin their educational journey early can encounter additional challenges while being the youngest student in a class. Because of this, we only accept about 10% of students who apply into EEK. Those who are accepted are well above average in all areas of development.
