Calling Our Future Griffins: Apply Now for 4K!
Applications Accepted December 1, 2025 – January 30, 2026
Greenville County Schools is now accepting applications for 4-year-old kindergarten (4K) for the 2026–27 school year. Four-year-old kindergarten is often a child’s very first step into school, and for some of our youngest Griffins, it becomes the start of a wonderful Sterling journey!
The GCS 4K program provides intentional, play-based learning alongside age-appropriate literacy and math instruction. Each classroom is led by a certified teacher and supported by an instructional assistant, ensuring a nurturing environment where children build the foundational skills needed for future success.
A limited number of 4K spaces are available at select schools and child development centers across Greenville County.
To be considered, children must:
Turn four years old on or before September 1, 2026
Demonstrate academic/developmental needs and/or qualifying risk factors (such as low family income or low parent education level)
Submit an application through Parent Backpack on the GCS website
Please remember that completing an application does not guarantee placement. Families will be notified of their child’s application status by March 1, 2026. We’re excited to welcome the next generation of learners, perhaps even future Griffins, as they begin their educational journey!
For questions, reach out to 4K@greenville.k12.sc.us or call 864-452-0437. More information.
