Elinore Schlinker: You can start your child at 3 or 4 depending on the preschool you select. For the most part 4 years old is the legal age for preschool for the LAUSD.(Unless your child is special needs student then you can enroll them at 3 years old) There are headstart programs which are state programs that require certain criteria to be met(income eligible) and then there is SRLDP which is th! rough the district and require a child be 4 years old by dec. 3 of the school year the child will be enrolling to.
