Mehlville Early Childhood

Early Childhood Registration, 2025-2026 School Year

The Mehlville Early Childhood Program is a half-day program that enrolls on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once a location is filled, any further enrollment requests for that location are placed on a "wait list", continuing in the order received. All required documents must be received by the due date for the application to be considered and accepted. Additionally, families who are interested in the full-day program at Bierbaum can fill out The Mehlville Early Childhood Preference Questionnaire for the Full-Day Program.

AM Session: Children must be 3 years old before August 1, 2025
**If your child turns 3 after August 1, they must wait until the following school year to enroll.

PM Session: Children must be 4 years old before August 1, 2025

If you have any concerns with your child's development or questions about registration, please call the early childhood office at 314-467-5300 or email Emma Fritz at [email protected].

Step 1: Complete the Mehlville Early Childhood Preference Questionnaire

- FOR RETURNING STUDENTS: Students who currently attend the Mehlville Early Childhood program and plan to return for the 2025-2026 school year can complete the Mehlville Early Childhood Preference Questionnaire for the half-day program beginning Friday, January 17, 2025. The questionnaire closes Friday, January 31, 2025. If a family is currently enrolled, any younger siblings who plan to attend Mehlville Early Childhood for the 2025-2026 school year can also fill out a questionnaire at this time. Please note: A separate questionnaire is required for each child.
 
- FOR NEW FAMILIES/STUDENTS: The Mehlville Early Childhood Preference Questionnaire for new families/students will open on Friday, February 14, 2025, at 8 a.m. for new students who would like to attend Mehlville Early Childhood for the 2025-2026 school year. This questionnaire will be open until our program fills. At that time, we will open up a wait list. Additionally, families who are interested in the full-day program at Bierbaum can fill out The Mehlville Early Childhood Preference Questionnaire for the Full-Day Program.

Step 2: Submit required documents through Infinite Campus to complete registration
