All-Day Kindergarten Returns for 2025-2026
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.
Costs
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.
What’s the Difference Between Half-Day and All-Day Kindergarten?
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.

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.
All-Day Kindergarten Lottery Process
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
