Georgia’s Pre-K Program is a state lottery-funded educational program for all age eligible four-year-old children in Georgia, with the goal of preparing children for success in kindergarten and later school years. The GSCS Pre-K program operates on the regular school system calendar for the length of a typical school day.
GSCSS has a total of 21 Pre-K classes, holding a maximum of 22 students per class. All GSCSS elementary schools have at least one Pre-K class. For students to be included in the lottery drawing, they must be completely registered by May 4. Students registered after May 4 will be placed on a waiting list.
