Full-Day Kindergarten Program-
In addition to the traditional half-day kindergarten program, Bellevue also offers a Full-Day Kindergarten (FDK) program in every elementary school. The full-day program extends and enriches the core curriculum by allowing children time to explore the same subjects introduced in the half-day program in more depth.
Tuition is charged for participation in Full-Day Kindergarten. Financial aid is available to families residing in the Bellevue School District. Full-Day Kindergarten will be in operation on all regular school days during regular school hours. For more info, contact your local school or 456-4013.
