Washougal School District hosts a number of early learning programs at many of our schools, some of which are run by district staff, and others which are run by partner organizations.
Each of these programs offers high-quality, research-based instruction and learning activities geared to build the skills students need to start Kindergarten ready for success.
These programs include free, low cost, and tuition based programs. Eligibility for programs may include special circumstances based on family income or other student need. Each program will define their eligibility requirements on their website.
If you need help determining which program might be a great fit for your young learner and family, please contact our Director of Teaching & Learning, and they can help you explore the options!
