Kindergarten Start and End Times

All Naperville 203 schools offer an all day kindergarten program. As the name suggests, all day kindergarten is a full day of learning for kindergartners that is responsive to their need for content learning, critical thinking, curiosity and discovery, independence, social interaction and movement.

The District also offers a half day program to all kindergarten students as required by school code. Every student, whether in a full or half day program, will work toward the same standards. You will be asked to indicate your kindergarten program choice (half or full day) at the time you enroll your child.

All day kindergarten begins at 8:15 a.m. and dismissal time is 2:30 p.m.
