The Office of Kindergarten in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools plays a vital role in ensuring a smooth and successful transition for young learners entering Kindergarten.

Our department works closely with Preschool teachers and families across the district to support early childhood development and prepare students for the next step in their educational journey.

Enrolling your child in kindergarten is a pivotal step that lays the groundwork for their future academic and personal success. Children who attend high-quality kindergarten programs exhibit enhanced cognitive development, social skills, and emotional well-being. These early educational experiences are linked to higher rates of high school graduation and increased likelihood of pursuing higher education.

Kindergarten serves as a critical period where children develop foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, and fosters social competencies such as cooperation, communication, and empathy, which are essential for navigating future academic and life challenges.

At Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools (WS/FCS), we are committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where young learners can thrive. Our kindergarten program is designed to support the holistic development of each child, ensuring they acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in subsequent educational endeavors.

We encourage families to explore the diverse educational opportunities available within our district. Our Choice and Magnet Schools Department offers resources to help parents determine the best fit for their child, including a school locator service to identify your residential school and zone.

By enrolling your child in WS/FCS kindergarten, you are investing in their future, providing them with a strong educational foundation, and setting them on a path toward lifelong learning and achievement.
