Lindbergh Community Ed and Rec

PRESCHOOL

Our preschool classrooms are for children who are 1-2 years from kindergarten eligibility. Classroom placements are based upon kindergarten cohorts. To read more about the details of our school day click on the link below.

Registration for the 2025-26 school year and 2025 LECE Summer camp is opening soon! Priority registration is available for current LECE families beginning soon. It is important to register now if your child plans to attend this summer and/or return this fall. Other enrollment windows will be opening soon for other families in our community.

Online registration will open on the following dates:

• Current LECE Families are given priority. This includes all students who are currently enrolled in LECE full-time or part-time programs.
• Lindbergh Employees New to LECE: Wednesday, Feb. 12. This includes all Lindbergh employees whose children are not currently enrolled in LECE. (Employees with children currently enrolled in LECE can register as Current LECE Families.)
• New Families: Registration will open for new families on Thursday, Feb. 27.

Please continue reading to see changes that LECE is making to the enrollment process.

LECE is transitioning to a rolling admissions process. This means that families will be able to apply throughout the year until January 2026. During the application window, applications will be reviewed in the order they are received, and students will be placed in that order as space becomes available.

In addition, every February, we will ask families to renew their application in the Student Placement Queue (waitlist). This change ensures that our list remains current and includes families who are actively seeking placement at LECE. It also allows us to refresh the Student Placement Queue each year.

Here are the most significant changes:

• The Student Placement Queue will be entirely refreshed in 2025.
• Families who are currently on the 2024-25 waitlist who are still seeking enrollment at LECE will have the option to transfer their application fee and be placed in the Student Placement Queue for the 2025-26 school year.
• Moving forward, we will ask families to renew their application every February in the Student Placement Queue.
• Families may not add a child to the Student Placement Queue until Aug. 1 of the year in which that child turns 2 years old.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we implement these improvements to better serve our families.

Typical Daily Schedule:

• 7:00-8:05 am Arrival and Breakfast 
• 8:05-2:55 pm School Day 2:55-5:30 pm LECE Aftercare
• • All teachers are certified by the state of Missouri, birth-3rd grade. All full time classroom support staff span the school day and into aftercare, providing continuity through the day. There is no additional payment needed for using aftercare.

  • Summer Camp continuous enrollment is offered to full day students.
  • Students do not need to be toilet trained to enroll.
