Lumberton Preschool Expansion
Free Preschool for the 2022-2023 School year
Program Information
- The Lumberton Township School District is pleased to announce that for the 2022-2023 school year, we will be further expanding our FREE full-day, high quality preschool program to 3 and 4 year old Lumberton residents.
- In addition, we are excited to continue our partnership with the Center for Family Services (Mosaic Early Learning) as a Head Start provider. Families who meet the income eligibility criteria for Head Start, will continue to benefit from the support and services provided from the Center for Family Services.
- If your child is currently enrolled in one of these programs (Ashbrook Elementary School or Mosaic Early Learning) and they continue to be age eligible for preschool for the 2022-2023 school year, they will be able to continue in the same program. You do NOT need to do anything at this time.
- ALL Lumberton children participating in one of these programs will have access to a high-quality preschool program that will prepare them to enter Kindergarten.
- The full-day preschool program hours are 8:40am-3:40pm.
