Thank you for your interest in the Murfreesboro City Schools Preschool Program. If you wish to apply for the remainder of the 2023-24 school year, please email preschool@cityschools.net for details.
The MCS Pre-K program is funded by a grant for low income or at-risk children. We serve four-year old children who are zoned for a city school.
Eligibility and tentative placements will be determined following the completion of the application process. You will receive a letter on or before July 1st letting you know about your child’s acceptance. If you have specific concerns or questions, you may email preschool@cityschools.net.
Our Pre-K classrooms will be located in several schools for the 2024-2025 school year, however location of classrooms is tentative and will depend on space available. Locations of classrooms and hours of the program will not be finalized until school begins in August.
Language translators are available each Wednesday for assistance.
