Preschool Registration
The Loveland City Schools Preschool program was developed to serve children 3-5 years of age with a wide variety of disabilities qualifying for special education services in response to a federal mandate. Our program model includes children with typical development to provide a more inclusive and enriching learning environment and experience.
The application window is December 1, 2025, through January 16, 2026. Families that apply after this date will be placed on a waitlist.
Those interested in entering their typically developing 3-5-year-old child in the Loveland City Schools Preschool program should return to this page during the application window to find the link to the Preschool Application for Typically Developing Students. Families will be notified by mail, email, and/or telephone regarding admission to the program.
The online application is for those seeking enrollment as a tuition-paying preschooler only. Families with children ages 3-5 suspected of having a disability should contact the Loveland City School District registrar at 513-683-5600 to request a preschool evaluation and obtain a referral packet.
Note to parents:
What do we mean by a “typically developing” preschooler? This is a common question and an important one for our program. Our preschool is different from most in that it is primarily designed to serve the special needs of children ages 3-5 that have been determined to have an educational disability. Typically developing students play an important role in our program. Since children learn considerably from each other, our tuition-paying students serve as role models in the areas of communication, behavior, play, motor skills, and self-care skills. Thank you for providing as much accurate information as possible on the application.
We value a balance of age and gender in each classroom. When assigning children to classrooms, both age and gender are considered. Classes are not necessarily filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
