The Marquette Area Public Schools provides all day, every day kindergarten, all day, every day junior kindergarten, and half day junior kindergarten.

According to Michigan Law (MCL 380.1147) Children are required to be five years old on or before December 1 of the school calendar year in which the child attends school.

The junior kindergarten program was developed to give younger children more time to develop socially, emotionally and academically before entering kindergarten.

The District provides transportation for kindergarten students enrolled all day who live outside the kindergarten walk area and attend the school that serves their neighborhood.

The kindergarten program is an all-day structured program taught by certified teachers that follows the Common Core State Standards for language arts and mathematics
