Franklin St. A parent or legal guardian must be present during the enrollment process.

Necessary documents for enrollment include:

- Parent/Guardian photo identification

- Child’s birth certificate

- Child’s immunization records

- Proof of residency

- Completed enrollment packet paperwork

P4J provides a no-cost, high-quality half-day kindergarten experience aimed at developing essential skills for school success. Class times vary depending on whether the location is an SDJ elementary school or a community-based site, with a total of 19 P4J sites available in Janesville.

Non-residents interested in enrolling their child in SDJ's P4J must apply for Open Enrollment. For questions about open enrollment, contact Deen Hartley at (608) 743-5152.
