Studies show that children benefit from high quality, full-day Kindergarten programs. The Simi Valley Unified School District offers families throughout the district two full-day Kindergarten options, depending on your child’s age.

Universal Transitional Kindergarten (UTK) and traditional Kindergarten classes are taught by credentialed teachers with experience in early-childhood education, in a safe and nurturing environment, on elementary school campuses located throughout the district. All of our Kindergarten programs are free.

To determine the right program for your child, please join us for our virtual Kindergarten Information Night events held every January. Recordings of the most recent past events have been provided below.

How to Enroll in Kindergarten

Kindergarten for the 2023-2024 school year is open to children born on or before September 1, 2018. If you are attending your neighborhood school (SVUSD neighborhood school Boundary Maps are HERE), enrollment packets are available after March 1 through your school. Please contact them directly for more information.

If you are considering enrolling your child in a school that is not your neighborhood school, you will be participating in our School of Choice program. School of Choice allows families to place children in schools outside of their neighborhood boundaries as long as the target school has room for additional students. More information about School of Choice is found HERE. Please know that the School of Choice deadline was February 28, 2023. Applications received after the deadline will be placed on a wait list with the individual school site(s).
