Preschool and kindergarten registration for the 2025-2026 school year at Alliance City Schools will begin online on Saturday, March 1.
Alliance Preschool (AP), located at 1490 Parkway Blvd., houses all preschool students in the district. The school offers half-day classes with a morning and afternoon session available.
All teachers in the preschool program are highly trained in early childhood education. Each class room has a teacher and at least one teacher aide to assist the students in their daily learning and activities. The students begin at the age of three or four in a classroom setting and learn skills necessary to prepare them for kindergarten.
“We set our students up for success before attending Kindergarten,” said Adam De Monte, principal of Alliance Preschool. “Our students leave preschool with a foundational understanding of school, how to interact with other children and what appropriate behavior looks like through the latest PBIS practices. We teach our students using a research-based curriculum that prioritizes the science of reading, as well as supplementing with numerous educational partners that include the Rodman Library, Akron Zoo and Artful Living and Learning. ”
In order to register for Preschool, children have to be 3 years-old by Aug. 1, 2025. The following is required for registration:
Birth Certificate from the Health Department
Immunization Records
Parent or Guardian Photo Identification
Proof of Address
Custody Documents if applicable

Incoming preschoolers should be potty trained.
Families will also need to turn in the Child Medical Statement completed by a doctor and the ODJFS 7200 Eligibility Form. Both forms are available to print off during the registration process or hardcopies are available for pick up at Alliance Preschool during the school day.
Spots are limited for preschool registration. Students previously registered in preschool at AP do not have to be re-registered for the 2025-2026 academic year.
Alliance Early Learning School (AELS), located at 285 W. Oxford St., houses all kindergarten and first grade students attending Alliance City Schools.
