2026 – 2027 Little Links Registration

Little Links program registration will open in phases by region, called Regional Rolling Registrations, and will then open for all sites and regions on May 5, 2026 at 6am. Families may choose to register during their school’s regional window or wait until May 5th when registration opens for all sites. This phased approach allows our team to review registrations and respond to families more efficiently.

New name with the same great ECE programming

Introducing Little Links: A New Name for Our ECE Programs
We’re excited to share that our high-quality, district-run early childhood programs are getting a new name! Starting this school year, all Discovery Link programs for children ages 3–5 will be known as Little Links.

Little Links will continue to offer the same trusted, licensed care families have come to rely on—rooted in play-based learning, nurturing relationships, and consistency within your school community. This name change simply helps us better reflect the unique developmental needs of our youngest learners while staying aligned with state licensing guidelines.

Our school-age programs (ages 5–12) will continue to operate under the Discovery Link name.

Whether your child is just starting preschool or already in elementary school, we’re here to provide safe, enriching, and supportive experiences before school, after school, and during full-day camps.
