Our requirements aren’t rocket science. Whew.
We welcome little learners that are at least 3 or 4 years old. They simply need to be that age and fully potty-trained by August 1 (preceding their upcoming PK3 or PK4 school year). The other basics are an up-to-date State of Tennessee Immunization Record and a copy of your child’s birth certificate.
