The Dawson Education Service Cooperative is now taking applications for preschool students at Sheridan Elementary School and East End Elementary School for the 2025-2026 school year. To apply, click on the link below where parents can create an account and fill out an application. (Available in English and Español.) 

Your child must be at least 3 years old on or before August 1, 2025 to apply for preschool. Space is limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-qualified basis. (Qualifying 4-year-old students will be placed before 3-year-old students.)

Classes are funded through Arkansas Better Chance for School Success and have specific, state-mandated eligibility guidelines. If any spots remain to be filled after all students who are eligible based on income have been accepted (see income chart below), students will be accepted into the program based on a sliding scale where families will be responsible for paying a portion of the tuition. Additionally, a limited number of parent-paid spots will be available.
