School Readiness funds are appropriated to Minnesota school districts by the State of Minnesota.  The funds are designated for children 3.5-5 years of age, to help them prepare or “get ready” for Kindergarten.

The Montevideo School Readiness Program includes funding for scholarships.  These scholarships are income based and they are awarded to families to help pay for the cost of preschool programs such as Small World Nursery School.

We strongly encourage you to apply for School Readiness Scholarships as soon as you know that you would like to attend programming to ensure that funds will be available.

Scholarship applications are available at the Hawks Nest Early Childhood Center & Community Education. For further information, please call 269-5026.
