IKM-Manning Begins Planning for 2026–27 Preschool Enrollment

IKM-Manning Community School District is beginning planning for its preschool program for the 2026–27 school year and is seeking interest from families with incoming preschool students.

Children who will be four years old by September 15, 2026, are eligible to enroll. IKM-Manning offers a four-day-per-week, full-day preschool program, with no preschool held on Wednesdays. Currently, the district operates two preschool classrooms in Manning and one in Irwin, all staffed by experienced teachers who are passionate about working with young children.

Families interested in preschool are encouraged to complete an interest form as soon as possible. This information will help the district plan class sizes, staffing, and programming for the upcoming year.  The interest form can be found at HERE

Once enrollment interest is better understood, IKM-Manning plans to host a preschool informational event in April for prospective families.
