Preschool Enrollment Opens April 13

We’re excited to welcome our newest preschool learners!

If your child will be 3 or 4 years old by August 1, 2026, they are eligible to enroll in preschool for the 2026–2027 school year.

How Do I Enroll?

Enrollment opens April 13, 2026 and is completed entirely online.

All BCS families that have one student already enrolled will do the annual update through Parent Portal in Infinite Campus. If you need to enroll your child as a new student, you will add that child during the update process.

Complete the 2026-27 Online Enrollment Registration for new families (link will be live April 13). Families who reside outside of Bardstown City Schools boundaries may not complete the enrollment application until their out-district application has been approved.

You’ll also need to upload the following documents:

  • Birth Certificate 
  • Proof of Residency (utility bill or lease)
  • Immunization Certificate
  • Preschool Physical Exam (preschool or kindergarten enrollment)
  • Eye Examination (preschool or kindergarten enrollment)
  • Student’s Insurance Information

We understand you may not have digital files of these documents. You may complete online enrollment without these documents; however, a member of our enrollment team will be in touch to collect these necessary documents. Your enrollment application will be placed on hold until a copy of these documents are physically received at our school or district offices.

Families who live outside the boundaries of Bardstown City Schools may apply for their child to attend preschool at Bardstown Early Childhood Education Center. For early consideration, out-of-district families must apply using this form between:

January 5 – March 13, 2026

Applications submitted after March 13, 2026 will still be accepted, but families will not receive an application status update until late spring.

What Do I Need for Online Enrollment?

When you register your child, you will need to upload:

  • A birth certificate
  • Proof of residency

After you complete your online registration, you will receive an email with a link to complete our Household Income Verification Form.

What is the Household Income Verification Form?

This form is required for all families.

The information you provide helps us determine whether your child qualifies for tuition assistance. Completing this form ensures we can offer support to families who are eligible.

Please watch your email carefully after registering — the link will be sent directly to you. Be sure to complete the form as soon as possible to avoid delays.

Reminder About Placement

Enrollment is not considered complete until:

  • Online registration is submitted
  • All required documents are uploaded
  • The Household Income Verification Form is completed
  • Additional documents required include an immunization record, a school physical, and an eye exam.
