If you decline to provide your child's SSN, please fill out the waiver (see Quick Links) and bring the form with you to registration.

Q: Can I pick up my child early a few days a week?
A: Georgia’s Pre-K Program operates just like a school classroom. Parents commit to sending their child to school for the complete day, throughout the school year. Children can be un-enrolled for being chronically tardy in the morning or being picked up prior to the end of the instructional day.

Q: What is “excessive” in regards to the tardy policy?
A: Chronic tardiness is defined as late arrival or early departure more than once per week.

Q: How do I know who offers Pre-K in my area?

A: Each year, the Walton County School District conducts an electronic lottery-style drawing process in mid-February.

Q: If my child does not initially receive a seat with WCSD, can I register or accept a Pre-K seat for my child with another provider in Walton County and still be on the WCSD waiting list?

A: Yes.
