Important Kindergarten Age Requirement Update

The State of Ohio has updated the age requirements for kindergarten through amended House Bill 114, which revised Ohio law. Under this new law, children must be five years old by the first day of school in order to start kindergarten.

For Worthington City Schools, this means your child must turn five (5) years old on or before August 21, 2026, to be eligible to begin kindergarten for the 2026-2027 school year.

If you are interested in the Sutter Park Preschool program, then check out their website to get additional information.
