We are still enrolling for the 2026-27 school year! Our Early Childhood Programs office begins open enrollment for our tuition-based preschool program in January of the prior school year. However, we enroll students throughout the school year until spring, as space allows! We will close preschool enrollment for this current school year on Wednesday, March 31, 2027. 

• January 6-January 15: Priority enrollment and placement window for returning Tuition-Based and CSPP families.  
• January 19: Placement begins for all NEW Tuition-Based families. 
• May 15: CSPP enrollment verification and placement begins for new CSPP families. 

 Be sure to select Preschool Program (Registration) as the grade level or program for your child. If the incorrect option is selected, our office will not be able to assign a 7-digit Student ID for your child. 

 

Step 2: Using your child’s Student ID Number, submit an Online Preschool Application at: https://webapps.capousd.org/preschoolapplication/

 

• • If the requested preschool program is available, your child will be tentatively placed into the class, and you will be notified by email. This email will include an acceptance letter with additional directions to finalize the enrollment process.
• If your first-choice requested preschool program is not available, but your second-choice is, your child will be tentatively placed into the class and you will be notified by email. This email will include an acceptance letter with additional directions to finalize the enrollment process.
• If neither of the requested programs are available, you will receive an email letting you know that your requested programming is unavailable. This email will contain information for the next steps.

 

Step 4: Families will finalize preschool enrollment and registration by submitting all of the required documents and payment within 30 days of receiving the acceptance letter.

• Priority is given to returning families for the first week of open enrollment. The priority enrollment window for our returning families will take place from Wednesday, January 6, to Friday, January 15, 2027.
• New families may apply during this window, but placements will be given to returning families first during this time. Applications received from new families will be reviewed beginning on Tuesday, January 19, 2027, in the order in which they were received (Our offices will be closed on Monday, January 18th in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day) 
• Applications received after Tuesday, January 19, 2027 will be reviewed in order, and placements will be made on a first-come, first-served basis for all families.
• Please note that every attempt is made to honor first-choice or second-choice requests, but placements are contingent on program availability.
