More information (after the application process):

- Please note that the CCSD Pre-K Child Development application process is not used to register a child for a given school. It is used to apply for consideration to attend a child's zoned school. If the student is qualified to attend a CCSD Pre-K program and the parent accepts the seat, the parent will need to proceed to the Registration process at registration@charleston.k12.sc.us.

-All accepted seats will be considered pending until the student's documents and residency is verified by the school. Note*Some schools now required income documentation.

- Parents/guardians or students can log in to see their application dashboard or messages. For information on CCSD Pre-K Child Development and future important dates, please visit our webpage ccsdschools.com/prek.
