We're excited to welcome our newest Milford Eagles to the flock! At Milford Schools, we take pride in our strong sense of community and tradition.

Despite the failure of the Earned Income Tax in November, we are pleased to announce that All-Day Kindergarten will continue to be offered for the 2025-2026 school year. Kindergarten is a major milestone, and we’re thrilled to partner with our families as we soar into this educational journey together. Let’s make it a year to remember as your child begins their adventure in learning, growing, and becoming part of the Milford legacy.

Due to financial constraints, the enrollment fee for All-Day Kindergarten is now $5,000. Payments can be made in 10 monthly installments of $500, starting on August 1, 2025, and ending on May 1, 2026. This fee helps cover the costs of providing a full-day educational experience, including enhanced instruction, enrichment activities, and additional support for student growth.

• Half-Day Kindergarten: A free program that focuses on core academic subjects and foundational skills, offered in 3.5-hour sessions. Each school will provide both AM and PM options, with specific availability determined by transportation eligibility.

  • To see if your home is eligible for MEVSD transportation click here.

• All-Day Kindergarten: An extended program offering more comprehensive instruction, enrichment activities, and additional opportunities for development.

We encourage families to consider which option best fits their child’s needs and finances.

Enrollment for All-Day Kindergarten is conducted through a lottery system due to limited spots available. The lottery ensures fairness and equal opportunity for all families wishing to participate in the All-Day Kindergarten program.

If there’s a waitlist for your first-choice school, you can opt for your second or third choice. Note: Parents must provide transportation if the chosen school is not the child’s school of residence.

*Current Milford preschool students who will be going to Kindergarten in the 2025-2026 School Year MUST still enter the All-Day Kindergarten Lottery if they wish to enroll in All-Day

Milford Kindergarten Prep Parent Guide

Students must turn 5 years old on or before August 1, 2025 to be enroll in Milford Schools Kindergarten. *Decisions are made based on capacity.

In rare instances, young children born after the deadline of August 1 are advanced in academic skills, personal development, and emotional maturity. These children may be candidates for early entrance into kindergarten. Early entrance is a form of grade acceleration, so parents should consider how this decision will impact their child throughout the school experience into high school.

Parents interested in participating in the early entrance assessment process can click the button below and complete all steps in the Referral Form for Early Entrance to Kindergarten for the 2025-2026 School Year. All forms must be completed by the end of the day on March 31, 2025.

Due to financial constraints, the District is no longer able to offer scholarships for the 2025-2026 school year. However, we are aware that many families rely on this funding to help pay for their child’s tuition. As such, the District is actively exploring alternative funding sources and partnerships to reinstate financial support options in the future.

Families can still indicate if they would like to apply for a scholarship, as this helps us gauge interest and prioritize efforts to secure funding. Should the District secure alternative financial sources, scholarships will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, making it important for families to express their interest as early as possible.

If there are any tuition scholarships available, they will only be given to students in the All-Day program for families qualifying for the Free or Reduced Meal Program. Please fill out the Scholarship Intent form which will open on March 3, 2025 to receive more information.
