Seaton Elementary offers an exciting array of academic and extracurricular programs that will challenge and engage your child. Here’s how to join us.
Prekindergarten for 3- and 4-Year-Olds
Seaton Elementary School is proud to offer many seats for 3- and 4-year old children. Though D.C. law does not require children to attend prekindergarten, DCPS and Seaton place a strong value on early childhood education. We strive to make PreK-3 and PreK-4 seats available to as many families as possible through the My School DC lottery.
If you think your child may have a learning disability and may benefit from early support, visit the D.C. Early Stages website.
Here are several links to information about Seaton for prospective PreK families:
