Get An Early Start on Enrolling Your Youngest Learners


The UTK Pre-Enrollment Window for 2024-25 has CLOSED. Families who completed and submitted an application by the February 2nd deadline will be notified by February 12th of their status.

UTK is a new grade level preceding kindergarten, open to all students who will turn age 4 by September of this year — children born between September 2, 2019 and September 1, 2020.

Beginning January 22, families may contact their neighborhood school directly to complete the UTK enrollment packet. If space at the school of residence becomes full, Neighborhood Schools and Enrollment Options (NSEO) will assist families in enrolling in the next closest school with space available.

In UTK, students receive a full day of school aligned with the elementary school bell schedule and calendar. Each class has two teachers who provide developmentally appropriate teaching practices to help prepare students for kindergarten success. All UTK students are offered free and nutritious breakfast and lunch at school.

San Diego Unified also offers a part-day early learning program at 17 school sites and an extended-day early learning program at Central Elementary School for 3 and 4-year old children for qualifying families. Children who turn 5 years old on or by September 1 are age-eligible for Kindergarten and will not be enrolled in UTK.
