Four-year-old Kindergarten (4K)

 

Lindbergh Elementary School is excited to participate in the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) full-day 4K expansion! The expansion began with the operations referendum that the Madison community passed in November 2020.

We are offering 2 full-day classrooms with instruction provided in English 4 days per week Tuesday-Friday. Each classroom will have 16-20 students. Contact the school office for more information about bilingual 4K classroom options (for native Spanish speaking families only) at nearby locations. 

In 4K, students learn through a play-based model that provides the opportunity for skill building and development in several areas including language, vocabulary, early literacy, and math skills, as well as social skill development. 

The full-day schedule will include breakfast, lunch, exploration time for learning, small/large group instruction, outdoor play, and quiet learning/rest time.

Families must live in the Lindbergh or Lakeview attendance area boundary to attend full-day programming at the school.  Space in the full-day classrooms is limited; a lottery will be conducted if interest in attendance exceeds the authorized student enrollment. Students enrolled will be expected to attend four full days per week, Tuesday through Friday. No transportation is available for a Half-day 4K programming option due to the length of the bus ride.  Families are able to choose other half-day options if they provide their own transportation. See the 4K Site Information for additional half-day options. 

MMSD/MSCR does not provide “wrap around” or before/after school care for 4-year-old students outside of 4K instructional hours. The ECE sites that contract with MMSD for 4K may offer before/after school care.  Please contact the sites directly for more information.
