Georgia Pre-K

Georgia’s Pre-K Program is a FREE state lottery funded educational program for all age eligible four-year-old children in Georgia. The purpose of Georgia’s Pre-K Program is to prepare children for success in Kindergarten and later school years. The program operates on the regular school system calendar for the length of the school day.  

To participate, children must be four years of age on or before September 1 of the school year and must be a resident of Georgia. Proof that a child is age-eligible and is a Georgia resident is required to register for Pre-K. 

• Acceptable proof-of-age includes birth certificate, passport, hospital record of live birth, green card, pink card or Federal I-94 card. 
• Acceptable proof-of-residency includes a lease, utility bill or letter from a shelter or employer. 

All children enrolled in Georgia’s Pre-K Program must have hearing, vision, and dental examination certificates (DHR Form 3300) on file within 90 calendar days of program entry. Form 3300 must be signed by a private practitioner or representative of a local Department of Health. 

Immunizations (DHR Form 3231) must be up-to-date or affidavits must be on file within 30 calendar days of program entry. Only health departments and physicians licensed in Georgia can obtain blank immunization certificates (Form 3231). Take your child’s personal immunization record to a health department or Georgia physician and they can complete the form and give any required vaccines.  

Georgia Pre-K registration for the 2020-2021 school year is now open at Big Blue Marble locations in Georgia.  Contact us today to reserve your space.
