Enrollment for Kindergarten-5th grade is easily completed after settlement into base housing. Preschool in DC is funded, but not mandatory. Preschool seats may fill quickly over the summer months, but families may register their preschool age children (3 and 4 year old) in other public or public charter schools in the District when the local school is full.
Families should also consider JBAB’s Child Development Center Enrichment Program, if children are too young to ride a school bus.
