School Overview
**Sun Prairie Four Kids (SP4K)** is a community-based 4-year-old kindergarten (4K) program operating under the umbrella of the Sun Prairie Area School District. Designed as a partnership between the public school system and local early childhood providers—including private preschools, childcare centers, and community organizations—the program aims to provide high-quality, inclusive early education to all children in the district who turn four years old by September 1st.

The program focuses on early literacy, social-emotional development, and school readiness, utilizing a play-based curriculum that prepares students for the transition to elementary school. By collaborating with various sites throughout Sun Prairie, SP4K offers families a range of flexible scheduling options while ensuring that all participating classrooms adhere to the district’s academic standards. This model emphasizes the importance of community involvement in education, ensuring that local children receive consistent, developmentally appropriate instruction in a supportive and accessible environment.
