Early Entrance to Kindergarten
In December 2025, Governor DeWine signed House Bill 114, which changes the kindergarten age eligibility requirement for children starting kindergarten in Ohio. Children must be 5 years old on or before the first day of school to be eligible to enroll for the school year.
This is a change from the previous cutoff date and may impact some families as they plan for their child’s educational journey. Please contact Washington Elementary School if you have any further questions.
Washington Elementary Principal can be reached at 419-447-1072
Early Entrance to Kindergarten (enrollment of a child who does not meet the age requirement of HB 114) is designed for the exceptional child who is both academically ready as well as developmentally mature when compared to others his or her chronological age. This opportunity is designed as a measure to meet individual differences in school readiness. Information and the application can be found in our Early Entrance to Kindergarten Handbook.
