Birth Date Requirement for Pre-K and Kindergarten Enrollment  

Due to early dates for pre-K and Kindergarten registration in many districts, the Tennessee Department of Education would like to make you aware of House Bill 0839/Senate Bill1022 (summary here), which was signed into law by Governor Haslam on April 8, 2013, and its impact on pre-K and Kindergarten enrollment birth date requirements for the next two school years. Changes would take effect in the 2013-14 school year. 

The impact of this law on enrollment in pre-K programs for the next two years is as follows:

  • Children must be 4 years of age on or before Aug. 31, 2013, as well as meet other currently defined criteria to enroll in voluntary pre-K in 2013-14.
  • Children must be 4 years of age on or before Aug. 15, 2014, as well as meet other currently defined criteria to enroll in voluntary pre-K in 2014-15.

The impact of this law on Kindergarten enrollment eligibility for the next two years is as follows:

  • Children enrolled in an LEA-operated pre-K program, a Head Start program, or a state accredited non-public school pre-K program* in the 2012-13 school year who turn 5 between Sept. 1 and Sept. 30, 2013 are grandfathered into kindergarten for the 2013-14 school year.
  • Children enrolled in an LEA-operated pre-K, a Head Start program, or a state accredited non-public school pre-K program in the 2013-14 school year who turn 5 between Aug. 16 and Aug. 31, 2014 are grandfathered into kindergarten for the 2014-15 school year.

*State accredited non-public pre-K programs are identified as a Category 1, 2, or 3 school.

Attached (here) is a list of Category 1, 2 and 3 schools with pre-K programs meeting the criteria for being grandfathered into kindergarten in 2013-14 and 2014-15.
